Here fishy, fishy.  When they first start out fly fishing, I think the mistake many new anglers make, and some not so new, is that they will just randomly walk up to the water and start casting, expecting to hook a trout right away. Lord knows, if it's been a long stretch between fly fishing trips, I'm tripping over myself to get to the water. Often I'll have my rod assembled with a fly at the end of my tippet before I've even seen the water. |

Czech Nymphing - The Essential Fly Fishing Technique  80% of trout food is found on the river bed or just off it! So, Czech nymphing is an essential fly-fishing technique. Czech nymphing was introduced to the UK in the 1990 World Championships. The Czech team beat the UK International teams on the Welsh River Dee. The Czechs caught grayling in numbers from places that were thought impossibly fast or deep previously. This sent shockwaves through the world of competition angling. The technique is today considered to be pretty much a standard - an essential part of every grayling anglers armory. |

 A huge factor in the success of the fly fisherman is stealth. If you can get your flies to the water without the fish detecting you, you have a substantially greater chance of success. Once the trout know you're there, you have successfully put the fish down and you can cast your fly rod until its dark and will not catch anything but a sunburn. |

Match The Hatch 
Every book on fly fishing, every instructor on the sport, and every experienced angler who fishes for trout with flies will tell you: Match the hatch. The successful fly fisherman figures out what the trout are eating and presents them with a fairly accurate imitation. This is called matching the hatch. |
