On the Fly
Defining what makes a salmon or trout difficult to catch isn't as easy as it sounds. For example, a vast majority of fly-fishers feel that the bigger the fish are, the more difficult they are to catch. But this isn't entirely true, as many times big fish are some of the easiest to grab and it's the smaller fish that can frustrate even a well-seasoned fly rodder. So what does it take then to successfully catch those difficult salmon or trout in our local waters? In short, salmon and trout that are difficult to catch are most often caught by design, rather than simply by luck. And if you, as a fly-fisher, wish to enjoy this upper level of fly-fishing-consistently catching difficult salmon and trout-you'll need to perfect and master every aspect of your angling game. Here are a few tips to get you started.
