If you use a landing net when fly fishing you will definitely land more fish, the art of using a fly fishing net is to play the fish as you normally would until the fish is within range, then submerge the net under the water and ease the fish over the net and lift it out of the water. You do not want to make any sudden movements with the net at this point as this will spook the fish, and after an exhilarating fight with the fish you want to give yourself the best chance of landing it.

Like most fishermen my age I originally learned about spinnerbait fishing for largemouth bass with my Dad. My class room was the back of an aluminum rental boat drifting the brush flats and rocky points of Irvine Lake in Orange County and Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara, CA.

Lake Trout are notorious for being finicky, or just following and not actually biting your lure. We’ve had great success with using an egg sinker, a bottom bouncer and a herring in a herring teaser. It may take some experimentation on your part to get everything to come together, but the rewards are worth it! The Lake Trout will hit hard and hit often and it makes it well worth the time to try this new technique.

Fishing in the middle of a warm summer night for Large-mouth bass when your the only person around is one of my favorite things. This is a great pattern for the dog days of summer when the bass are buried deep hiding from the sun and the heat of the day, not to mention all the people and anglers on the water in the summer months. Top-water fishing in the middle of the night is prime fishing.

Sports like any other recreational activities require both good mental alertness and physical strength. But like any every sport, each athlete needs good equipment to perform well. An experienced tennis player has three or more rockets inside his or her tennis bag whenever it goes to practice or games.

Anglers generally find the best fishing two hours before and after a high tide, but fish and other animals also become active around the time of low tide. Beginners should remember they are banned from fishing for black rockfish, lingcod, greenling and cabezon, leaving surfperch and a few other species open. Chinook angling remains open and catches have been fair to good out of Brookings.
