I practiced my roll cast today again in the yard, and I am improving alot. Some hula hoops provided some good targets for me, and I am hitting them fairly consistantly from 30 feet away. I had a lot of help from the guide that I bought and from the guys at www.theflyfishingforum.com. They were very helpful in explaining the harsh details of casting for me.
I am looking forward to trying my newfound skills on the water and hopefully landing a few nice bows. Wish me luck and I'll see you all on the water!

Happy new year everyone!! I hope 2012 is a great year for you. My new years resolution is to learn fly fishing once and for all. I have always wanted to learn to fly fish properly, and I already have a nice fly rod.
I've purchased a guide that has some really great info, and I'll let you know of my progress soon. Here is a link to the guide, I hope it can help some of you too!!

How was everyone's salmon season this year? Mine was wonderful, I brought in well over 30 pinks(humpies) about 10 silvers and a couple kings. I usually run 2 corkies, a piece of yarn, and a bait of eggs. What do you use and why?
I had a lot of luck with the spinners this year, got to remember to clip those barbs before you put it in the water or it might cost you some money, your fishing pole, and on some occasions your vehicle as well. No luck for me on the steelhead yet though, but I have caught a few chum. Chum make some nice smoked salmon, and I use my own smoker.
Does anyone have a special recipe they use for their own smoked salmon?

Fishing for trout
Over the last 15 years I have caught so many trout, I can't even remember them all. I would always catch 2-5 trout in a day, and it usually took all day. I always bought the most colorful powerbait, the colored worms, the coolest looking rooster tails, and whatever caught my eye at the local fishing shop.
It was always on and off with those things, some days I could catch my limit in under 2 hours, and other days I could sit all day without catching a thing. I tried asking other fishermen what they were using and how I could do better but they would show me a yard and a half or some other expensive gear that I didn't have the time to learn to hook up or pay for out of my thin wallet.
One day about a year ago I did an online search to find some more advice on how to catch trout, but not just trout, we're talking BIG trout. I took my boat out after reading this guide and each time since has been a bit better for me. There are many good techniques that I was unaware of and I had no idea about where the fish would hold in the water.
I have learned so much about fishing that an average fisherman just doesn't know. How a trout thinks, where they like to be, under what conditions. Check this guide out, I know it will be worth your while just as it was worth mine!
