Canada Fly In Fishing Review

	Wet Fly Fishing For Trout The Walker's mayfly nymph is a weighted fly which imitates the emerging mayfly before it crawls out of the water and flies away. It therefore is not dry and sinks. These are cast upstream in front of a fish and "tweaked" or gently retrieved often with great success-they are ideal on a chalk stream when the fish are not rising. This is usually the only acceptable form of wet fly fishing on the major chalk streams. Fishing for trout in general is practiced in fast water when the current does the work or in still waters when the fly is cast downstream and slowly retrieved. Wet fly fishing for trout involves lighter flies which are cast downstream into pools or lies where fish are expected to be. This method is used at night for sea-trout, or sewn as they are known in Wales. Wet fly fishing in reservoirs and still waters involve much
bulkier flies which are cast out long distances and retrieved .The flies imitate various bugs and even perch fry which the big rainbow trout hover up in vast quantities in the spring. Still waters are on the whole stocked with rainbow trout which feed on bugs and fish fry and in the big reservoirs such as Bewl Water, Chew, Blagdon, Rutland Water and Grafham Water grow to a large size and are extremely powerful-hence great to fish for. On these large waters wet fly fishing is usually done from boats since the levels will fluctuate and this leads to muddy banks when the water level drops. In the natural lakes in the Lake District, Scotland and Ireland brown trout give good sport on retrieved wet flies; often fished in groups of three. These lakes also contain the large brown ferox trout which are cannibals and feed on their smaller brethren-and are usually caught on lures and spinners-not flies. Downstream fly fishing for trout on a fast moving river on a summer's evening is indeed a pleasure, brown trout and grayling will both be there to pit your wits against. Fishing for trout and grayling in rivers and streams of the West Country and Wales is particularly good. Wet fly fishing in Ireland has its many opportunities. Most rivers and streams hold brown trout and there is lots of free fishing. The Irish lakes hold some very large trout and boats and ghillies are available on the famous lakes such as Corrib, Conn and Mask. There are good numbers of small man made "put and take" fisheries up and down the country. Some are excavated especially for trout fisheries. Others are chalk and gravel pits which have been stocked.
In the main, these waters are stocked with Rainbow Trout which are not indigenous but hail from the Rockies in the west of the USA. Rainbows can tolerate higher water temperatures and lower oxygen content in the water than the indigenous Browns and also can grow very quickly. Some waters are stocked with fish of over 15 pounds. The flies for these still waters imitate all sorts of bugs and fish that live in the lake and some look nothing like anything living there but still catch fish! These fisheries offer the wet fly fisherman great opportunities to improve casting select the right fly and catch very big fish. We plan to offer information about these fisheries which will be a free service to the fishery owners-so keep visiting us.
