Pine smoked trout

Use a wire holder to get a smoky flavor when cooking trout. The idea is to be able to turn meat over like type made to hold hot dogs or hamburgers.

Cut server pine boughs and place them on your campfire. Lay holder with your trout directly on top. Light pine boughs, then fire will sear, cook, and smoke your trout in about a minute before burning out. Just turn holder over to sear other side – repeat process. A couple of boughs and less than a minute for each side is perfect for a half-pound trout.

Obviously, goal when casting a fly is to present fly to fish in a realistic manner. You are trying to simulate nature here. If you are going for trout in a stream, for instance, this means a drag-free float of 36 inches over a precise spot that marks window of a feeding fish.

Also remember that Evening Secret (http://www.eveningsecretfishing.com/specialsecret/4_Fly_Fishing_Tips.php) will swarm fish to your spot consistantly, and help you catch more fish.

Never randomly cast – you have got to pick a spot and hit it. Throw tight loops that put fly on target. One important method that can be used is to overcast target and stop line short while it is in air. The fly should come back to you and fall on water with slack in leader.

The best trout fishermen fish with only 30 to 35 feet of line, but make up for this with accurate casting. They read waters will and put fly in p ay zone time after time. One of most important thins they do is to recognize that presentation and approach are much more important than pattern.

It is different for bass. Whether a surface bug or a streamer, offering must move past a spot where a bass is apt to hold. As boat drifts, it is important to pick a precise time to shoot a cast to target. Too soon or too late, and fly won’t be in right spot. This is where double haul form of casting becomes essential. It generates line speed and enables caster to pick 30 or 40 feet of line off water and shoot another without false casting.
