Understanding Fly Fishing Targets On Flowing Water

When it comes to fly fishing, the jargon will get a bit
overwhelming if you let it. Here is the plain English scoop
on some usual terms used.

Fly fishing is lots of things to many individuals. For few,
it is a zen like technique to interact with nature. For
other people, it is test of skill in the act of competing
with tricky little fish. For while others, it's a ballet of
artistic movements and methods to get the perfect cast for
the perfect fly placement that produces the best catch. For
most, it's just good, clean fun. Whatever your choice, fly
fishing has a definite language you have got to learn.

Traditionally, fly fishing develops on flowing water like a
river or stream. There's variations for lake or ocean
destinations, but they represent a minority. Given this
fact, following is an explanation of much of the terms
included with traditional fly fishing.

A "riffle" is an area with fast paced water separated over
some solid structure, most of the time rocks. A rifle most
commonly excellent location to cast for a number of
reasons. The riffle is usually an area where insects
congregate. Where there are insects, there are fish. In
particular, look to cast to areas just downstream of
blockages as your catch must be residing such locations. A
"pool" is an area where fast flowing water enters a deeper
pool of water. Sometimes found just after riffles, a pool
offers little in terms of prospecting in the interior. It
does, however, offer good prospects in the places that
water flows in. Many species of fish feed at such locations
as the water flowing in to the pool brings food and
vitamins with it.

"Dead water" represents a place where there's little or no
current. This tends to occur in odd geographic areas, large
rivers or areas with flow problems. Dead water is rarely
the best place to fish, so avoid it such as plague.
However is not a term per se, vegetation that grows out
into the water and shady shoreline locations is usually
excellent places to fish. These locations provide
combination of shade and nutrients, that are popular with
fish. When referring to shade, it is recommended understand
that fish are certainly not generally worried about
sunburns. Instead, there're concerned about dive bombing
birds like the Osprey. A fish that cruises along the
surface of a pool of water in direct sunlight tends to have
a very short life span.

Clearly, the above mentioned represents a little sampling
of terminology based on rivers and moving areas. However,
you may at least know why a lot of anglers discuss riffles.
