Fly Fishing Flies and other goodies

After you have your rod the next question is which fly to use.  I like to have lots !  I needed lots to begin with as they decorated every available surface imaginable :) And I hate even the thought that I might not have enough of the right one for the job.   Besides I love the way they look and if all else fails, I can look at my fly case and wish I was fishing !


                                    Gear I use:
I normally use a Penn Fly Reel both for floating and sinking line and depending on the time of the year and what is around, favor Woolly Bugger flies  in various colors, but have caught mainly on the black woolly Bugger with the olive green one second best.


What I love about fishing is being outside in the open air, with amazing scenery and painted skies like the one on the way to this fishing spot - what could be better ?


A really handy  tip that one of our fishing club guys taught us after seeing us both struggle to unsnarl our line, was to wrap the line around the rod several times - turn your rod over a couple of times to wrap the line around it in a spiral before you give it a sharp tug and usually the line will free up.
 This tip has saved a small fortune in lost flies not to mention meters of line !
