What is a good retrieve to use when FLY FISHING?
613860
The best retrieve is the one that catches fish on any given day.  Different retrieves work in different circumstances.  Experiment a little until you hit one that works where you are.  Watch the insects or minnows you are mimicking and copy them. Good luck.

I have found that the best retirieve to catch bass would have to cast it out as close to weeds, or logs, or rock cover as you can, keep your rod tip up and you line taut.  Let the worm sink and usually you will get the hit on the initial fall.  If not, let the worm sink to the bottom.  Then give the worm a few tugs, very small tugs, remember, you have to make it look real, so huge tugs make it look like a super worm, and may result in a hit, but, not many.  After you have given 2,3 maybe 4 little tugs on the worm, let it sink again.  I have found that most hits occur as the worm is falling.  So it is a must to keep your line taut, or you won't even feel the strike.  You must also keep your eye on your line where it enters the water.  Sometimes, you don't feel the hit, even with a tight line, but you will see your line either twitch, or move off to one side or the other.  Be ready to set the hook.  I prefer the YUM dinger in the 4 inch model and 6 inch model, in the watermelon seed color with gold flakes. They have a small slit in the worm to hide the hook in, resulting in easier, and better hook-ups.  Bill Dance once said "Any color and size of worm is good, as long as it is 6 inches and purple."  Try watermelon seed first, it seems to work everywhere.  Purple, black, red, and watermelon seed  also seem to work well.  But you have to experiment to find a good color. Here are a few sites to get you started.  I also have found that if the YUM dinger doesn't work, the YUM 6 inch ribbontail usually does.  If niether of those work, I try the YUM hawgtail, and almost always catch bass with 1 of the 3.  I would be lying if I told you that these three soft plastics have not improved my catch ratio per fishing trip, than any other plastics, and lures combined. I have found that using worms, I have found that it makes little difference on the water condition, when fishing a worm.  I have caught bass in muddy water, clear water, and in between with a worm, as well as at night. Bass have a "sensor" called the lateral lines. The bass can feel the worm before they see it.  In fact the largest bass I have ever caught was caught on a YUM dinger, at 2 a.m. during a full moon. But I have also had good bass at night when it was cloudy out. I prefer to Texas rig my plastics, most always wieghtless, on a 1/0 worm hook.  Have fun, and tight lines.

Contact the Sportfishing landings, in So.Cal.\nThey use the same rods, as loaners, for tourists. They might have a plan to help you, or a suggestion on where to turn.

Well, I went to the Doug Miller Outdoors Sportsman's Expo and saw a fly fishing casting contest.  I would consider that a sport.  Also, if I caught a huge fish, it would take my breath away, plus you might get stronger muscles by reeling the thing in.  An Author you should check out if you like anything outdoors and comedy: Patrick F. Mcmanus.  He's hilarious.  My favorite is his first book: a Fine and Pleasant Misery.  Sometimes I get mixed up and call it a Pine and Pheasant Misery.  Anyway, I think you are an athlete of sorts, especially if you spear-fish in the ocean like me.  That's a lot of work.  So is hiking to good streams and trying to get snags loose.

There is one made called "fishing buddy" . Pretty worthless if you must ask me....Even on my boat where I have 2 fishfinders mostly we use them for finding structure or depth...not so much fish. How much is the depth and strutcure going to change fishing from shore...not much right. These things actually work best for ice fishing....save your money. Buy a better rod to cast further from shore if your gonna spend.

There are too many ways to list, but in addition to the other 2 responses above mine, you can put them on a leadhead jig, and jig them on the bottom. Try tying a palomer knot, and on the tag end tye on another hook, and rig 2 flukes this way.  You can also get a threeway swivel, and rig two at the same time, make one of the lines atleast 6 inches longer than the other though..  Start off with two different colors, and which ever one catches more is the one you use on both hooks.  That rig kills the smallies in my area.   I prefer using the threeway swivel.  I have also caught largemouth using this rig.  And you can catch bass, as well as trout using the jig method.  Here's a few articles about fluke fishing. Although the first one talks about parasites.  Have fun, and tight lines.

Check e-Bay, they do have many fishing items. I sold a fly rod on there myself before.

In clear water, with a blue sky overhead, try a fairly dark coloured plug or jerkbait, along the lines of those you would use pike fishing. You can also try spinners, no particular kind, as they all work well on the right day. Just have a small selection of different colours and sizes. I prefer the mepps super vibrax, or the rublex ondex in sizes 4 - 6. Harris angling sell them for about £3 each, and there indesructable.\n\nIn overcast and cloudy water conditions, use the same types of lures and spinners, but opt for the ones with brighter colours. Tight lines

the flounder in jersey just go nuts over marabou jigs.You'll need light tackle,4 lb test is perfect, but the just cant resist an eighth oz jig. I like green,yellow white and grey jigs. Bass Pro has them real cheap.There is no need to tip them with bait.I'll guarantee if you try this you'll kill them.

One of the biggest problems when fly fishing is when your line tangles around your feet.  The auto reel has a spring, when you catch a fish you pull a lever and the excess line is pulled back in the reel.  Bingo.
