Video is one of fly fishing's most effective tools. A fly fishing video can provide great tips. You can get these videos for free or for a small subscription fee, and you can even subscribe to the Double Badger Media fly fishing video channel to get updates and fascinating stories behind the footage. Here is a brief overview of the fly fishing video channel.
Fly fishing for cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. Use a baitfish patterned fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. The hook will most likely be removed if a cobia strikes the fly. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are a different species than your average saltwater fish, so you need to know what to look at when choosing a fly-fishing pattern. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will ensure that you have the best chance of getting a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

Hirata-san's tenkara flyfishing
You might be surprised to know that the methods that Hirata-san uses to catch fish have been his mainstays for five decades. Although they have evolved over time these methods remain the foundation of tenkara. These techniques are also known as the "Shokuryoshi school" techniques. They also have roots in the traditional methods of fishing fish.
This video explains the history and provides detailed instructions for choosing flies. Hiratasan uses a handmade horsehair line to tie all his flies. He also shows how to tie horsehair lines without using a vice. The techniques he teaches include onstream casting, presentation, and hook setting.
FAQ
Which rod do I choose?
Graphite composite is the best rod for fly-fishing. This material is lightweight and strong with great casting capabilities. To learn how to cast better, you will need to practice with graphite rods.
To fish, you will need a Bobber
Yes, you do! The bobber is used when the bait is being removed from the water. The bobber is made up of the float as well as the line. To cast a lure, attach the hook to one end of the line. Then, pull the rod out and release the line. The lure could sink to the bottom if you don't have a bobber. This makes it harder for fish to take the bait.
How can I tell if my lures are working?
You should watch out for movement in your lure when it is thrown into the water. If you observe movement, your lure may be working properly.

How To
How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. Most people use soap and water. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. If you touch something dirty, you risk transferring germs onto the object.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. Certain things are best avoided as they can cause damage to your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known for dissolving plastic and metal so you should not use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, use warm water with a dishwashing solution. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. They also contain surfactants, which help to remove dirt and grime. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain removal products directly to areas where the oil and fat are located will remove the stain while not damaging the underlying materials.
Your local home improvement store will have many options for cleaning your fishing gear. There are many cleaners available in most stores, each with a different purpose. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. You can choose which one best suits your needs.
