Fly fishing has always been one of my passions and I enjoy writing about it every day. I hope that I can help you foster a love for the sport here at WorldVillage.com and at my site FlyFishingGod.com . If you are just picking up fly fishing you have probably come across a scenario like this:

You arrive at a great looking spot and start tying on a good looking fly. After a few casts you start to see a hatch emerging. You then inspect the insect attempting to discover what imitation you might have in your trusty fly box. Trout are rising all around you now as you dig through your flies only to find that you do not have what is needed. You take something out that looks similar, tie it on and start casting. After several trout rise to your offering but refuse it you hook a mediocre sized fish. You continue to cast for about another hour moving up and downstream but to no avail. After a long morning of frustration you leave angry, determined to return next time with the proper equipment for the job at hand.

Now let’s look at the same situation but with proper planning for the hatch. You arrive to your spot about an hour before you expect your hatch to start. You observe the beginning of the hatch and pick out a perfect size 12 pale evening dun to offer the hungry masses. You start casting your dun early in the hatch and hook a few good fish. You then exercise your patience and allow the hatch to get into full swing. After moving up and down the river casting at rising brown trout you have released 20-25 fish and experienced the full fervor being adequately prepared for the hatch has can offer.

Preparing to meet and fish the hatch is the goal, if you are prepared you will catch fish. That’s the bottom line. Keep an eye on my articles here and at FlyFishingGod.com to prepare yourself for incredible fly fishing journeys.
