Preparing for Trout Season

In my preperation for chasing after them gorgeous and tasty trout I stopped at the local Walmart last night after work and picked up a few things just to start.

I picked up a couple of packages of #6 Eagle Claw Snelled Hooks for night crawler action.

I also like to use spinners from time to time and am a fan of Rooster tails. Normally I buy the 1/8 oz but this year I am trying the  1/16 ounce.

I also picked up a couple packages of #7 barrel Swivels which i seem to go through quite a bit. They might be a tad big but we will see.



I being new to Fly Fishing picked up this nifty little item that fit's right in your pocket for easy access for those moments when I can't remember how to ty a knot. Not only does it have the 10 most popular knots in easy to read diagrams it is also printed on water proof plastic cards that doubles as a fold out 12" ruler.



I still want to get a few more things so keep your eye out for further posts of goodies that I purchase.

Knot Tying for Fly Fishing 101

I finally took the fly rod combo kit from Eagle Claw out of it's package and looked it over. I realized there are a few knots I need to learn so I started researching and found a few things I can learn hopefully.


Knot #1 - The first thing is the Arbor knot which attaches the backing to the reel.

Instructions:

STEP 1. Pass the line around the reel arbor.
STEP 2. Tie an overhand knot around the standing line. Then tie a secong overhand knot in the tag end.
STEP 3. Pull tight and snip off excess. Snug down first overhand knot on the reel arbor.
STEP 4. Wind your line on the reel and go fishing!
Knot #2 - The next is the Albright knot which attaches your fishing line to your backing line.

Instructions:
STEP 1. Bend a loop in the tag end of the heavier line and hold between thumb and forefinger of left hand. Insert the tag end of the lighter line through loop from the top.
STEP 2. Slip tag end of lighter line under your thumb and pinch it tightly against the heavier strands of the loop. Wrap the first turn of the lighter line over itself and continue wrapping the round end of the loop. Take at least 12 turns with the lighter line around all three strands.
STEP 3. Insert tag end of the lighter line through end of loop from the bottom. It must enter and leave the loop on same side.
STEP 4. With the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, slide coils of the lighter line towards the end of the loop, stop 1/8" from end of loop. Using pliers, pull tag end of lighter line tight to keep coils from slipping off loop.
STEP 5. With your left hand still holding the heavier line pull on the standing part of the lighter line. Pull the tag end of the lighter line and the standing part a second time. Pull the standing part of the heavy mono and the standing part of the light line. Trim both tag ends.

Knot #3 - The next knot is the Nail knot which attaches the fishing line to the leader.

 Instruction:

Step 1. Place a nail between the fly line and leader. Wrap the leader back towards the end of your fly line about 6 times.
Step 2. Pass the end of your leader back through the loops you just made. After the leader is through, pull on both ends of the fly line and leader trying not to have the loops cross each other. Holding with fingers, remove nail.
Step 3. Moisten and snug down by pulling both ends away from each other. Clip excess line and leader close to the formed knot

Knot #4 - This knot is called the Surgeons knot which attaches the leader to the tippet.

 Instructions:

STEP 1. The main line should come in from the left and the line to be attached should come from the right. Overlap the two pieces approximately 6 or so inches.
STEP 2. Pinch the overlapped lines together on the left between your thumb and index finger. Do the same with the sections on the right and make a loop by crossing it over itself. Take the long and short lines that are in your right hand and pass them through the formed loop. around, and back through a second time.
STEP 3. Pull both pieces being held in each hand away from each other closing the knot. Moisten and pull tight. Once this not is secure you can tighten it further by pulling individual pieces. I would not recommend this knot for line over 30lbs because it will be hard to tighten and the strength of the knot will only be there if tightened all the way.
A TIP: Mono line should be moistened (water or spittle) before closing the knot to keep down friction heat that can weaken the line, also never tug on a knot too much to "test it", it makes no sense put 10 pounds of strain on an 8 pound line!

Knot #5 -  This next one is called the Improved Clinch knot which attaches the tippet to the fly.


Instructions:

1) Pass the line through the hook eye. Take several turns around the main line and pass the end back between the hook eye and the first turn. Some anglers loop the main line through the eye of the hook or swivel twice for added strength. Use 5 turns if your line is under 15kg (30lb), 3-4 turns would be sufficient if the line is over 15kg (30lb).
2) Pass the tag end back through the large loop.
3) Lubricate with saliva and pull firmly with steady pressure.

Crystar Lens 2.5 magnification

Another nice find at the free shed in the local transfer station. Granted they are not going to pick out a tick at 100 yards but I think they would make a good addition to my pack to at the very least enhance what I am looking at which in my case would be an added plus because my eye's are not like they use to be.

I haven't found much as far as a time period as of yet but I know there is a few years on them anyway.




With just the push of a little button they pop open to a nice 2.5 magnification. Otherwise also called opera glasses they are compact and can easily fit in your pocket.

Wish I had more to mention but history on this style is very limited.
