Rainbow Trout And Trout Flies
Alaska is home to many wonders of nature not the least of which
is the rainbow trout. Trout fishing is a sport enjoyed by many
anglers not only in Alaska, but all over the world.
Rainbow trout are known to be quite aggressive and picky to
boot. While it may take a long time to get them to bite, once
you have them on your line you are in for quite a fight. These
fish are quite spirited and can put up quite a battle, which of
course, is one reason why anglers love fishing for them.
Trout are very picky eaters and many trout anglers tie their own
flies in order to get the best presentation to tempt this
finicky fish. Trout flies must be just so in order for the fish
to bite so whether you tie them yourself or buy them, you must
make sure they closely resemble the natural food source of the
fish.
There are two types of flies - dry files and wet flies. The dry
flies are supposed to resemble insects floating on top of the
water or hatches just emerging. Therefore, they are designed to
float. Conversely, wet flies are meant to sink. Either they
should go right to the bottom or hang a few inches under the
water depending on what insect they are emulating.
Streamers are flies that sink to just a few inches
below the
water. Their goal is to resemble a minnow swimming up near the
top. Another type of fly that sinks just a few inches is called
a nymph - this is supposed to resemble insect larvae floating in
the current. The nymph can also sink to the bottom as it might
in real life.
When selecting or tying flies for rainbow trout fishing, one
should always find out what the natural food at the time you
will be fishing is in the particular body of water that you want
to fish. Make sure your flies resemble whatever the food of that
time frame will be.
Fishing can be a great way to get the whole family involved in
outdoor sports, you can even plan a fishing vacation and fish
for rainbow trout in Alaska. You can find loding ant one of many
wonderful lodges and enjoy the Alaskan scenery and culture while
you are there. While fishing for trout can be fun for the whole
family, you might want to make sure small children stick to
something a little less challenging like sunfish!
