Video Pro Tips: Understanding Different Kinds of Flies


“Getting Started in Fly Fishing” is a great new video series from Brian Flechsig of Mad River Outfitters in Columbus, Ohio. In this episode, Flechsig finally gets to the end of the line, so he can talk about flies. Here, he’s offering the big picture: an overview of the basic kinds of flies and what they do in the water. In later episodes, he’ll break these categories down further. Today’s video is a great complement to the video about hook sizes that we published this morning.

Yes, this is very basic stuff, but it’s extremely useful for folks who are new to the sport. The biggest barrier to entry for anyone taking up a new activity is lack of information. Stay tuned to learn more!
