Here's a brief introduction to the fly fishing video channel:
Fly fishing to cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. Sinking lines are a great way to catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. One of the most effective patterns for tarpon is the Lefty Kreh's deceiver. This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
