Bamboo Bait

No idea about fly fishing?
Me too!
I've been very curious about this sport for some time. I've seen him do countless times.

He tried it. Failure.

People are endlessly and tirelessly, with great patience and understanding tried to rub some skills of fly fishing in me – But without success.

I have resorted to reading, for now. I decided that everything can not do, that they could be taught – if only in theory. Help. I think of myself now as a "work in progress".

Let's all learn the basics. DEFINITION OF TERMS!
A brief definition of some terms you need to know about fly fishing.

What is fly fishing?
Fly fishing is an ancient fishing method and distinct, developed primarily for salmonids (trout and salmon, mostly) and now extended to other species such as pike, bass, and carp, as well as a wide range of saltwater species.

Fly fishing is gripping or holding a fly rod correctly and adopting the correct stance to maintain comfort and balance. The most basic rule to the smelter is based on the shape of a clock that appears. His head straight points until 12:00, the cast (the tip of the rod) should return at 10:00 and then forward to 2:00, the release of its line at the end forward movement. It is a common mistake to put the rod below the two positions and almost always ends in a tangle of line!

Fisherman. (Do you have something to do with math I hate math!)
That would be silly! Someday, if you learn to fly fish, it is called a fisherman. A person catching fish or shellfish with no intent to sell, this includes persons keeping or capturing people who practice "Catch and Release "method (highly recommended).

The Essentials – If you do not have a complete list of these, you're NOT Fly Fishing!

The fishing rods are long, thin, flexible rods sometimes made of bamboo, but more recently from artificial materials. Rods tend to have large diameter eyes (or guides) spaced along the rod to help control the movement of relatively thick fly line. To assist in the freedom of motion required to skillfully cast with a fly rod, there is usually little or no butt (handle) extending below the fishing reel. Although fly rods are mainly used to issue fixed positions, but can also be used to trawl for fish.

Fishing Reel is a device used for the deployment and retrieval of fishing line using a spool mounted on a shaft. Used in conjunction with the rod and attached to the base or the handle of the rod.

Fishing line is any cord made for fishing. The important parameters of a fishing line are its length, material and weight (thicker, more resistant lines are more visible to fish). The refractive index is also important lines with index of refraction similar to water are almost invisible to fish. The most important parameter to decide which line to use his strength. This is the amount of line weight can have before taking. We must balance the balance between strength and visibility.

Flies as bait? Are you kidding?
Flies and flies artificial are constructed – "Bound" to a hook with thread, fur, feathers and other materials – in sizes and colors to match naturally occurring food or simply to excite a fish. And to add further confusion, the names of wet and dry flies, nymphs, scud missiles, eggs, streamers, Steelheads, flies low, salmon flies and saltwater flies.

You will be considered a well-equipped sunglasses Fly Fisher if you bring waders, boots wading, net vest, polarized to protect your eyes and see through the reflection on water, a hat for the hot sun, sunscreen and drug failures (repellent insects) – if you do not like being eaten by insects, even before catching a fish!

Armed with the things I read, I went on Fly Fishing experience without having to go near a body of water.
