Fly fishing fly help---what fly should I use?
So I'm going to my friends house tomorrow to do some fly fishing for basically the very first time. My brother and father just now got into fly fishing after doing regular fishing for their entire lives (my dad even went pro in bass fishing) and I think I have caught the fever as well. My dad bought me a rod and reel for Christmas so i'm super excited to start learning. I have the cast, knots, timing, etc. down pretty well. But I do need some help on fly selection.
The ponds we will be fishing tomorrow will be somewhat muddy due to rain about a week or so ago. And its pretty much dead winter where I live. The temperature is supposed to be between 30-50 degrees. The ponds are filled with bass, bluegil, catfish, and even a few trout.
My question is: What kind of fly hould I use in these ponds? Dry fly? Wet fly? beadhead? etc.
Oh yeah, the ponds are about 12' deep max. Thanks for the help.
you will want a bead head fly preferably a bigger fly. use streamers, it will be easier for the fish to pick them up in the winter, and let sink as deep as your leader will allow it, and work its slow. woorly buggers, mudler minnows, are my favorite streamers, but any streamer will work.
talk to your dad about fishing for bass in cold water, you want a bigger bait, and work it slower. if it is sunny the trout will be closer to the bottom, but if it is overcast, they will be closer to the top. and if you see them rising dont be afraid to throw a dry fly at them.
Good luck have fun release all your fish and rip some lips!!!
