MINI MONDAY brought to us by @pnwtroutgirl

FISH HANDLING FRIDAY - Tip #9 “Limit Fight Time” brought to us by @keep.fish.wet. Check out https://www.keepfishwet.org/tips.
📸 = @shellytales @demieshadennis @browngirloutdoorworld

Once hooked, a fish is essentially vigorously exercising when fighting on the end of your line. By landing a fish quickly and without over-playing it to exhaustion, you can reduce the physiological and muscular stress the fish incurs.

To help with this, match your tackle to the targeted species and the conditions. If you can bring the fish to hand, do so rather than letting it make another run.

This week @wpflyfishing discusses gear and fishing

This week @wpflyfishing discusses gear and fishing tactics for small mountain streams.

Read full blog at https://uwotf.com/blog/gear-and-fishing-tactics-for-small-mountain-streams/.

Gear Tips -
* Wear clothing that will help you be stealthy. Colors such as olive, dark green, brown, tan, and gray will help you blend in with the environment.

* Wading boots with rubber soles will help with hiking. Studs may be noisy, but can help a lot with stability on slippery rocks. Avoid felt sole boots, which can transmit bacteria and parasites.

* Small, tightly-woven, rubber nets are best. The fish in these systems are small and may swim through the weave in larger nets.

* Rubber nets help protect the slime on trout, which protect them from bacteria, fungus, and other infections.

* Rods made from fiberglass or bamboo in the 0 to 3 weight range are the best for these systems. Shorter rods (6’ to 7’6”) help with being able to get into tight spaces.

* Click reels are ideal. A powerful drag is not needed for fishing these streams.

* Lightweight floating line in a natural color with low memory is preferable because the line will be less likely to coil up, helping you to get out a smooth and stealthy cast.

* Short (6 to 6.5 ft, tapered), 5-6x (nylon) leaders are best.

* Tippet rings can be used to connect nylon tippet to the leader. Pro tip: nylon leader/tippet material is more likely to float, while fluorocarbon is more likely to sink. Using nylon for leader/tippet allows you to easily switch between nymphing and dry fly fishing!

FISHING TACTICS - Stealthy Approach Tips and Tight Quarter Casting

* Move slowly, quietly, and stay out of the water when possible.

* Stay low– crouch, move on hands and knees.

* Approach from downstream to try and stay in their blind spots. Fish are facing the current. One method for this is to walk downstream and fish your way back upstream.

* Always be aware of your surroundings when casting

* Bow & arrow, roll, and water loading are all great casting techniques for working in tight quarters.

* Make each cast count! Be patient and precise with your casts to avoid spooking fish.
