By Evan McGlinn The icy waters of a remote arctic river have become a Shangri-la for anglers in pursuit of Atlantic salmon—hard (and expensive) to get to but, oh, the fish! Russia's Ponoi River is not what most people would consider a typical fly-fishing destination. For starters, there are no long-established, luxurious lodges lining its bank like those found on other famous salmon rivers. It's located on the eastern edge of the Kola Peninsula—a 40,000-square-mile wilderness of tundra and low forest. The capital city of the province, Murmansk, is home to Russia's Atlantic nuclear submarine operations. In fact, until the early 1990s, it was virtually impossible to travel to this remote, lonely part of the world. Security was tight along the Finnish border where locals were required to report sightings of strangers to the authorities. In those days, the Kola was considered so strategically important that Russians living under the former Soviet regime were ...

By Danette D Foltz In order to catch that monstrous fish you need a rod and reel plus certain other supplies in your possession, namely different lines, various apparel, and various flies. To make your trip more enjoyable, and at the same time make it a great experience, you need a variety of supplies. So what kind of supplies do you need? To start you need a supply of different flies to attract the fish. When fly fishing you want to match the fly with the insects in the stream or water you are fishing. With a different arsenal of flies you are more likely to match your fly to the natural food source to the fish, and then you will catch more fish. This lets you adapt to the insects in the water to catch such fish. You also want a supply of different lines which in turn will allow you to fish in different weather conditions while you are on your fly fishing trip. Different lines also let you change the line for different color water when fishing...
By Christeen Savinovich The first thing to know about fly fishing in New Zealand is that the experience you have there will be unlike any other. The proximity to two bodies of water, the sheer amount of marine life and the abundance of tour guides and fly fishing expeditions make this country a fly fisherman’s paradise. The Geography of the Country Makes it Ideal for an Incredible Fly Fishing Experience New Zealand is an island and as islands are surrounded by water they often make the best places for any kind of fishing in general. You are never more than an hour and fifteen minutes away from the coast from any point on the island so you can visit several different spots a day and experience all the different types of streams, springs, creeks, rivers, lakes with huge populations of fish. New Zealand is unique, however, in that it is sandwiched between two different bodies of water. The Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea host different types of marine...

Of course there are hundreds of spots that you can go to fly fish if you are a traveler, but I will only be going over a handful of my favorite spots and they are all located in the United States. One that may catch you by surprise is Sitka, Alaska. Sitka is located in the Southeastern part of Alaska and there are many rivers and streams that are not fished that much due to the number of them and fishermen that go there. What you can expect in just about all of them are Steelhead. You can also expect to get some Salmon and Trout. Best time to go in my opinion is the end of Spring or the beginning of Summer. If you like to fish for rainbow trout, which are absolutely delicious, then you may want to fish the Colorado river that is located in Arizona. The best thing about fly fishing here is that you can do it year round as the temperature of the water stays just right for the Rainbow Trout, meaning they really have no reason to migrate north or south or to warmer or cooler waters unlike ...
CJ Siebler So you’ve finally done it! After countless hours of preparation and hard work you have finally caught a fish worthy of going home for dinner. But how will you ensure that by the time you have gotten off the water, loaded your kayak, and driven home that your catch will still be eatable? The moment a fish dies the meat will start to deteriorate. When keeping your fish fresh heat is the enemy. Warm water, the sun, and even the warm air inside your kayak will quickly turn your fish into a mushy mess if it is not cared for properly. So where does one start? Proper care of your catch should not be limited to the field but also in the preparation stages of your trip. Preparing for a fishing trip should not end with rods, tackle and kayak if you want to eat what you catch. There are several options available to kayak anglers t...
Here are 42 tips on fly selection, approach, presentation, and landing fish that can make the difference between a good day and a great one. A collection of MidCurrent's obvious and not-so-obvious advice. Choosing Flies Scott Cramer photo Size Matters When choosing trout flies, the relative importance of fly characteristics in your selection, in order, should be: size, shape, color, and action (for stripped flies). In saltwater, action is often more important than exact size and shape. Dropper Flies or Tandem Rigs Dropper flies are a trout angler’s secret weapon. A simple dropper rig can be made by tying a small nymph onto 14-18 inches of tippet material tied to the bend of a dry fly. If the trout takes the nymph, the dry fly serves as your indicator. Nymphs can also be tied in tandem, enabling you to find out which nymph is working better. Wet vs. Dry A fly’s construction determines whether it will float above the surface (dry ...
