Salmon Fishing

General salmon information and fishing tips:

1. Generally, the best times of the day are during the times when there is low light and so too, on cloudy days. On bright and sunny days, salmon will usually collect and assemble deep in the holes.

2. Take note that salmon do not feed while in the river. When they do strike, it is a behavior that is learned. Salmons are known to be predatory and aggressive when in the lake, up until they go into the river.

3. Set the hook by yanking downstream with your rod three times. To get a better set, pulling on the line with your free hand can help. Sometimes, when you lift the rod straight up, it will pull the fly out of the mouth of the salmon.

4. In order for the hook to go through the thick jaws of the salmon, you should always sharpen your hooks.

5. Fishing with a partner can be enjoyable and at the same time help each other to spot a salmon. While one is fishing, the other can be high up on the other side of the bank observing the reaction of the salmon and where exactly they are. Polarized glasses are very helpful when doing this and would bring satisfying results.

6. Finding a good hole where there are many salmon inside and you can fish there for the whole day!

7. Your weight as well as the length of the tippet should be adjusted so that it matches the holes depth and the depth of the fish. Your weight should not drag, but should only touch the bottom every now and then. Note that a tippet that is three feet long will set the fly six inches up to two feet off the bottom.

8. By adding a foam indicator at the top of your fly, you can get your fly higher in the water column.

The Fly In Fly Fishing

By the name itself, fly fishing is one of the many ways of catching a fish; specifically trout, salmon and other types of marine species such as tarpon, bonefish, striped bass and among others; with the use of just a hook attached to a line by a fishing rod. Fly fishing is gaining fame among fishing buffs and there are ongoing interests of catching as many different types of fish as possible.

The method originated from an ancient fishing form called angling; the very reason why it?s called angling is because of the hook hanging at the end of the line of a fishing rod. Fly fishing has innovations of its own and the noticeable tool for this method is the use of artificial flies or the fly lures. Usually, artificial flies are tied with thread, feathers or fur but there are other options too which include ribbon, tinsel or beads and for extra weight, lead is used.

The reason why the artificial flies are ?accessorized? is because specified species needs to be attracted. By using the right combination of the fly; which includes the size, weight and color, to the line, rod and reel, the chances of catching a desired species is high.

Color and size of the fly is mentioned because it adds to the fly?s camouflage effect, which is meant to imitate local insects, a main course for the fish (but this is done specifically to catch attention of aggressive, spawning species).

The size of the fly ranges from the largest (#2 ) to the smallest (very small at #22). The line to which the fly is hooked also plays an important relationship with the fly because primarily, it?s what casts the fly. It really depends on the purpose of the angler. There are heavy lines for sinking purposes and light ones as well to keep the fly afloat. In fact, a fly line can plainly be cast without a fly which makes it different from the basic fishing rod and reel method.

The significance of the fly is high in fly fishing since its main purpose is to act as a ?food? for the species.

Fishing Didn't Kill Daddy

?The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.? True or False?
Answer: FALSE. I?ll explain.

If you get up tomorrow morning at sunrise and look for the sun, you?ll see it right where it always is, in the eastern sky. Then you can watch it move in an upward, westward motion. Come back this evening a little before sunset, and you can actually watch it disappear into the western horizon--- ?setting?, if you will. This is REALITY. You can see it with your own eyes. But is it the TRUTH?

No.

The truth is that the sun doesn?t rise and fall at all. But from Earth, it looks like it does because you?re standing still on a round planet that?s tilted on its axis and rotating at about 60 miles an hour. The sun is still. YOU?RE moving. And that?s the truth.

But how do you tell somebody that they don?t see what they?re looking at? They don?t feel the earth moving under their feet; gravity is holding them in place. They look up and see the large round object moving from one place to the other. For them it?s for REAL, which is where we get the word ?reality? (real-ity).

There is a saying among smart people, ?the perception IS the reality?. The rest of us respond, ?Say what? Don?t make this hard for us. Just tell us if it IS or ISN?T.?

But it?s not that simple. It?s either/or, or BOTH, depending on who you?re talking to and what you?re talking about. This is a puzzle that I try to solve in my work each day. Not in physics or in astronomy, but in MARKETING.

You see, I?m what?s called a NETWORK marketer, something that means different things to different people. Most people don?t know what it means at all. I get paid to do something that most people do for free.

If you buy something and like it, you naturally tell people. If they buy it too, you don?t make any money; you just have the satisfaction of sharing a good thing. I?m satisfied too, but I get paid for sharing. As a commission, I earn a portion of the sales made by my referrals. When somebody wants to learn how to do what I do, I can teach them. And when they make referrals that result in sales, they get paid, and I get paid some more.

HERE?S WHERE I FIGHT the truth/reality battle: some people think that what I do is bad, but it?s NOT. Like anything else, it CAN be done badly, but in and of itself, it?s good. The irony is, it pays more money than most people make who say that it?s bad! And I have more control of my time as well as my income. If it?s raining tomorrow, I don?t have to brave the elements; I can work at home and watch the rain from the window. I can run my business from anywhere in the country with a phone and an Internet connection.

I don?t have a job. I run a business of my own. The REALITY of that is scary. Reality says that 8 out of 10 businesses fail because they either don?t make enough money, or they mismanage the money they get. For me, the reality is that most network marketers fail because they either don?t make enough of those referrals, or the business that supports them goes under.

The TRUTH is that things can be done to prevent those failures. But most people who want to work for themselves won?t even try because the reality scares them so much.

?80% OF ALL BUSINESSES FAIL WITHIN 5 YEARS BECAUSE THEY EITHER RUN OUT OF MONEY, OR DON?T HAVE ENOUGH TO BEGIN WITH.?

Yikes!

Reality can sometimes make us irrational. But if we really want to do something, reality shouldn?t stop us. Let?s say someone likes fish and wants to go fishing. But they pick up the paper and the headline reads,

?80% OF ALL FISHERMEN DROWN EVERY 5 YEARS BECAUSE THEY EITHER DON?T KNOW HOW TO SWIM, OR DON?T HAVE A LIFE JACKET?.

If that were the reality, a lot of people would stop fishing, eating fish, or both. But that would be irrational, because fish is good. And so is fishing. The problem is in the part of the headline that reads,

??because they either don?t know how to swim, or don?t have a life jacket.?

A lot of people would say,

?I don?t like fishing.?

Why? Do you ever go?

?No. I don?t even eat fish. Fish bad. Fishermen worse.?

I resent that, because I?m a fisherman and I love fish! What do you mean?

?Well, it?s nothing against you personally, it?s just that my daddy drowned while fishing. Just like most fishermen do. You read the papers.?

Oh. I?m sorry. Did he know how to swim?

?No, he didn?t.?

Was he wearing a life jacket?

?Well, no? he didn?t even own a life jacket. Said he didn?t need it. But fishin? killed my daddy, and I?ll be damned if it?s gonna kill me too! I won?t even look at a fish!?

I?m sorry about Daddy. You must be devastated. But with all due respect, fishing didn?t kill Daddy. DROWNING DID.

You see, a lot more people could be successful in my kind of business, but they get into it without the skill and safety needed to survive. When reality screws them up, they blame the business. What?s worse, they keep other people from trying by telling them the reality.

That?s where I go to work. I tell people the TRUTH so they won?t be confused by REALITY. The truth is that I CAN HELP YOU make up to $150,000 or more, part-time over the next three years--- and give you what it takes to be safe and successful.

Reality is that you can work on jobs for 40 years and in the end have nothing but bills to show for it.

So? what?ll it be, TRUTH, or REALITY?
