Finally, there are thousands of lures available. If it flies, crawls or swims, and fish eat it, there’s a fly pattern that mimics it. Surface lures include dry flies, foam spiders, poppers and sliders, and terrestrial surface lures, like grasshoppers. Subsurface lures include wet flies, nymphs, and streamers.
These lures mimic bugs and bait fish. For a beginner, a foam spider is probably the easiest surface lure to use. It’s easy to cast, and floats high on the water. For fishing below the surface, any nymph pattern will do. You can also try a streamer pattern that mimics a leach, worm, or minnow.
And there you have it, everything you need to know to get the right equipment so that you can start fly-fishing. As long as you stay safe, fly-fishing is a lot of fun and it’s a great way to catch fish.
