Day-Dreaming About My Next Fishing Escape

Whether fishing alone or in your favorite stream, there is nothing quite like a fishing escape.  The sound of the ocean waves soothes, just as the rod in your hands is patiently waiting for that perfect catch.  There are endless options when it comes to fishing and planning the perfect fishing escape.  Where will your next fishing trip be?  Will it be a familiar favorite, or perhaps a new adventure?  Let us look at some options while the air is crisp.

Its early, the sun is just coming up over the horizon.  Its rays making their way through the foliage. The fog is lifting and the chill is still in the air.  Water is swirling around as one stands knee deep in the river.  The water is cold, but the air is still.   The tackle box lays open on the river bank and the fly rod is in hand.  The fly line is cast.  All is still.  The fishing escape has begun.  Now the waiting starts.  The mind is alert and ready for any sign of a catch.  The trout or salmon are plenty.  Finally it happens, a tug on the line.  Reeling in the catch tenses the muscles and spikes the anticipation.  The perfect catch.  At the end of the trip, the world seems a better place.  Stress is melted away.

Many fisherman opt for deep sea fishing on vacations, perhaps due the massive size of the ocean, this answer seems most commonplace.  There you are, out on the open sea with the saltwater air and gentle charter.  Nothing but blue sky is above you and turquoise water beneath you.  This type of fishing escape plays to more of the adventurous side for a fisherman or there family.  In the hands of a capable captain, the charter brings you out to where the fish are.

Along the way, dolphins may accompany you- depending of course upon where your fishing trip takes you.  The anticipation builds quickly with the salty wind on your face and the power of the endless ocean underneath.  Ocean fish can be very strong, surprisingly so, making the catch and reel all the more thrilling.  The experienced crew will help prepare to handle even a record breaking catch on most charter ships as well, marlins have been known to take over 2 days to reel in.

Once back at the docks, the picture is taken with the catch of the day (maybe of a lifetime) as the family heads home tired, maybe a bit sun burned. However it is the memories, the jokes, the fish, and the satisfaction that will stick around forever.  At least it will hold you over until the next fishing escape. When planning a fishing trip, deciding on what, where and when, can be difficult given the numerous options available, but it is a problem we all like to have.  Whichever you choose, if you plot your course and set your goals, land a fish and bring your reel, than it’s sure to be a great escape.

A Breif History of Japanese Fly Fishing

The traditional Japanese method of fly-fishing is called “Tenkara” (literally: “from heaven”). The 1st reference to tenkara fly-fishing was in 1878 in a book called “Diary of climbing Mt. Tateyama”

Tenkara is really the only fly-fishing method in Japan that could be defined by using a fly and casting technique where the line is what is actually being cast. Tenkara originated from the mountains of Japan as a way for professional fishermen and inn-keepers to reap the local fish, Ayu, trout, char for selling and providing a meal to their guests. Primarily a tiny-stream fishing method which was preferred for being highly efficient, where the long rod allowed the fisherman to put the fly where the fish would be.

Another form of fishing in Japan is Ayu fishing. As written by historian Andrew Herd, within the book “The Fly”, “Fly fishing became popular with Japanese peasants in the twelfth century onward…fishing was promoted to a pastime worthy of Bushi (warriors), as a part of an official policy to train the Bushi’s mind during peacetime.” This refers primarily to Ayu fishing, which commonly uses a fly as lure, uses longer rods, but there is no casting technique required, it’s more similar to dapping. Ayu was practiced within the lowlands (foothills), where the Bushi resided, tenkara practiced on the mountains. Fishing flies are thought to have first originated in Japan for Ayu fishing over 430 years ago. These flies were created using needles that were bent into shape and used as fishing hooks, then dressed as a fly. The rods along with fishing flies, are considered to be a traditional local craft from Kaga region.

In the West, fly-fishing rods were primarily made from wood, that’s heavy, so having long rods to reach spots where fish might be was tricky. Anglers started devising running line systems, where they could use shorter rods and longer lines. Eventually this led to the development of reels and the widespread use of shorter rods and reels. In Japan, bamboo, an incredibly light material, was available, so anglers could make very long rods without much concern for weight. Fly-fishing remained more pure, as it was in its origins, anglers in Japan could continue using the long rods and did not feel the necessity to invent running line systems and reels.

When I was a kid we never would have imagined this! It’s a remote control boat, and you can go fishing with it. 

We were surfing YouTube for r/c boat videos Friday after school and came across a video about a “Remote Control Fishing Boat” That’s right, remote control boats for fishing; I thought is this for real?  I’m a fisherman and also love r/c boats, why haven’t I ever heard of this.  Turns out Fish Fun Co. makes an item called The RC Fishing Pole, to go fishing with r/c boats! What’s so cool about these is I can drive my line out with the boat and then drop my line where I want, like 400 feet!  With these I can also put my line on the boat and let the boat pull in the smaller fish. Sounds like lots of fun around the dock. They have a 34” RC Boat, ready for fishing called The Radio Ranger that I’m putting on my Christmas wish list. They also have one called Bass Pro, and one called LuckyStrike! For the price of a video game, ($59.95) I’m getting one!  These fishing boats are not only for kids, I can see myself  doing some surf fishing via remote control boats. One more thing about the silly R/C Boat’s “They Really catch’s Fish”!

Since the earliest fisherman plucked fish from the water with their bare hands, anglers have found many different methods of fishing. Fly fishing is one of the oldest and has been in existence for hundreds of years. Believed to have begun during Roman times, the advanced methods of fly fishing are considered to have developed in Scotland and England. With improved reels, line and fly gear fly fishing has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds.

Originally, fly fishing was mainly used to catch trout and salmon, which are easily fooled by artificial flies. However, many species of fish are now being targeted by fans of sport fishing using dry and wet flies. Today the lines are heavier and larger in diameter. As a result there is a need for a larger reel that is required to hold that size of line. Anglers now research the local water life to determine the best colors and styles of flies that may be able to attract the local fish population.

The main purpose of fly fishing is to offer an artificial fly to the fish that will closely resemble an insect or bug that is native to the area. Curious fishermen may spend a lot of time researching the types of bugs that flourish in the region as well as spending time studying the types of fish and how they approach their victims.

Practice, Practice, Practice, It Takes A lot of Practice to Properly Cast Flies

For the fisherman switching from bait fishing to fly fishing there is a conversion period in which they must learn the difference. With bait casting, the weight of the lure and bait draws line from the reel, and extends out into the water. When fly fishing the line is cast into the water and the fly on the line follows the line into the water. It requires a lot of practice and concentration to place the line that is cast from the reel and having the fly land in the desired spot on the surface of the water.

The two main types of lures used in fly fishing are the dry fly that remains on the surface and the wet fly that is designed to sink once it hits the water. Other flies, called emerging flies partially submerge under the water, to duplicate the action of emerging insects from their larva stage.

Fly fishing requires the fisherman to adjust to local conditions as well as altering their technique depending on the time of day and time of year. It will take the fly fisherman a lot of practice and patience to develop the skills necessary to consistently catch fish.

Making Your Own Flies

After a fly fisherman has mastered the difficult techniques of fly fishing he may want to design his own flies. It is a wonderful hobby. A master fly maker can build up quite a collection. A beautiful as well as effective fly can be a rewarding creation.

Whether you create your own flies or become an avid collector, the art of fly fishing can grow on you and become almost an addiction.

By Kelin Ray

When it comes to regular fishing practices, there is almost no one in the world that does not know the basics. However when it comes to the art of fly fishing, generations upon generations have found the basics to have eluded them. As a result of the new found fly fishing boom, there are plenty of those who wish to learn, and not really anyone to teach them. This can cause a problem for the fact that fly fishing has more than 2,000 years of history.

While you can simply bait a hook, toss it in the water and when something bites you can make dinner, fly fishing takes a little bit more effort to catch that fish. The good thing is however that the more effort you put into catching that fish, the better the meal will taste when you sit down to eat your day’s catch.

For starters, the concepts of fly fishing use no organic bait whether artificial or live. You do not take a real fly and bait it to your hook then presto you have a fish. Instead the flies used in the act of fly fishing are composed of things like string, feathers or even ribbon. These flies are then attached to a hook and through the movements of the line, you are able to dazzle the fly in front of your fish.

The bait itself is considered to be one of the most important fundamentals regarding the basics of fly fishing and when you know about the flies and how they should act upon the water, you will then be able to focus on the casting techniques. In casting the fly, you do not simply toss it out in a straight line like you would in a normal sport fishing routine, but rather through an art form you carefully and diligently glide the fly in and out of the water as a means of imitating an insect.

A fly fishing rod is quite often longer than that of a standard fishing rod while at the same time they are also substantially lighter. This is important because you have to create a certain rhythm in your castings which cannot be achieved with a heavier rod. The reel itself is barely ever used in fly fishing other than to retrieve the line. Instead one hand holds on to the line carefully pulling it out of the reel in small increments. From there you basically shake the line out a little at a time mimicking that of a live insect and enticing the fish to bite.

Fly fishing is pure art when it comes to the sport fishing world and some people can do it, while at the same time others cannot.
