These videos are available for free, or you can pay a small fee to subscribe to the Double Badger Media flyfishing video channel for updates and fascinating stories. Here is a brief overview of the fly fishing video channel.
Fly fishing to cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. Weighted flies are also available. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon are not your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

Statistics
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
