4 Fly fishing lines for the beginners.

The most confusing initial step for a beginner fly fisherman is the choosing a fly line, each of which is designed for different levels of control or practicality, depending on level of expertise and angling situation. If you are new to fly fishing, there are many designs of fly lines to consider. But, in this article let me help you decipher the topic of fly line. Fly line tapers are adjustments or enhancements to the line to aid in casting, depending on the necessity of the angling situation. Taper implies that fly lines do not have uniform diameter (thickness) throughout the length, and are thus "not level." Adjustments in line manufacture are often made that either increase the weight (which depends on density and diameter) or the diameter in key sections of the line, greatly altering casting and line control. There are several fly line tapers available among fly fishing suppliers, which are indicated by simple abbreviations in their descriptions or on packaging as fol

Part two of Montana Trout Brown Trout For many an angler, the elusive Brown Trout is hard to catch. The Brown Trout is a lot more wary than other species. Its shy habits help to ensure longevity in streams where other trout have been fished out. Brown Trout seek areas with plenty of cover. Under log jams, cuts in the bank, overhanging tree cover or rock outcroppings are their favorite hang-outs. As they grow larger, Brown Trout become even more wary. They will often feed at night when darkness offers protection. Although a challenge to capture, the Brown Trout's succulent flavor is a reward for patience. Brown Trout normally feed on small minnows, crustaceans, worms and insects. Netting a Brown Trout requires skill, tenacity and a little bit of luck.

Part One Montana Trout

Part One  Montana is blessed with water; gin-clear cold water. Fed from glaciers, winter snowpack and deep mountain springs, Montana's pristine chilly waters are a perfect habitat for trout. Rainbow, Lake, Cutthroat, Brown and Brook Trout thrive to the delight of bears and anglers. Trout depend on cold water to survive. Our waters are cold, trout flourish in Montana. Brook Trout are the easiest to catch but the most sensitive to water temperature; their population begins to diminish in waters that exceed 68 degrees F., Montana's other species of trout are comfortable at slightly warmer temps.

Ten Best Rivers

"I'm going seriously out on a limb by naming the top 10 trout rivers in the country. I will doubtless leave out some rivers that are worthy of mention. But when it comes to a list like this, you have to eventually pick the streams, and I'll apologize in advance if I don't put you're favorite river down. I'm sure these aren't actually the ten very best streams around-there are dozens of backcountry Alaskan streams and private trout waters that are probably better than any of these. But these are all rivers that are easily accessible and provide awesome trout fishing. These are all well known streams, and they'll be crowded from time to time.

Lake Trout

Trout live in cool, shaded waters. Lake trout, however, are rare and can be a bit elusive. Snagging a lake trout is quite an accomplishment and requires more than a bit of skill. There are a few items to consider before setting out in search of a lake trout. Experts seems to agree about some of the following fishing tips for catching a lake trout. First, keep your rod and reel and fishing line light, troll slowly, find the bottom and take into account weather and water depth. They can seem to be line-shy. That is, they actually avoid coming near heavy fishing line in the water. If you are using a heavy line, then change it to a lighter, less obvious line. The heavy line also has to work harder to get to the bottom where the trout usually hang out.
