Here is a brief overview of the fly fishing video channel.
Fly fishing for cobia
A fly rod and line are probably the most commonly used tackle when fishing for cobia. However, a fishing lure is an equally important tool. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. Remember, you need to have a ready fly rod for hungry cobia.
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. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. The Lefty Kreh's deceiver is one of the most successful patterns for tarpon. This streamer is tied to a 2/0 hook which will drive it home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. But you must keep in mind that tarpon are predatory, so it is advisable to avoid artificial light during the day.
