Westfeldt shared his top tips for any fly fisher, regardless of whether you’ve been fishing for years or you’re just learning how.<\/p>\n

Expert Fly Fishing Tips:<\/h2>\n

Don’t fish unless you can see them.\u00a0<\/strong>Unlike bait fishing, with fly fishing, you should be able to see the fish you’re going after. You aren’t just sitting there, waiting for one to come along. You’re actively seeking them out.<\/p>\n

Drop your angle.<\/strong> If the fish aren’t biting, add weight to the drop factor or change your feeding zone.<\/p>\n
