Tips for Fitting in on Your Lee’s Ferry Fly Fishing Tour

We here at Lee’s Ferry Fly Fishing have the pleasure of offering fishing trips for people of many experience levels. If you are relatively new to fly fishing, you might feel a little out of place when you embark on a trip down the Colorado River. Of course, there’s no reason to feel this way, but it’s still a great opportunity to learn more about fly fishing so that you can feel more a part of the group.

One of the easiest things you can do is research some common fly-fishing terminology and equipment. If you understand different types of fishing equipment you will have an easier time adjusting to your first trip, without needing to ask what everything does. Knowing the terminology can also help you interact with other fishers and understand what everyone is talking about on the boat. There are plenty of resources out there, and of course your guide and fellow fishermen will be happy to give you a few pointers.

You should also spend a little time practicing using your reel. While it takes time to become experienced at something like changing your spool, if you are familiar with your reel you will have a better chance of catching fish right away. Becoming familiar with several different types of knots can also be useful. Most reels come with instructions on some of the basic knots you may need to use. Spend some time away from the water familiarizing yourself with the basics.

Coming prepared is also another important tip. You will want to make sure you dress appropriately for the weather and boating conditions, while making sure you have enough storage space for all of your equipment and supplies. If you are organized you will be able to quickly pinpoint where all of your gear is and ready yourself at a moment’s notice.

These are just a few ways you can make your beginning fly fishing trips as safe, fun, and enjoyable as possible. Stay on your toes and you will be well on your way towards acting like a pro. Remember, don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you’re ready for a true Lee’s Ferry fly fishing adventure, contact Marble Canyon Outfitters to make reservations today.

What Should I Wear When I Go Fly Fishing?

As with most outdoor activities, being well prepared for a fly-fishing trip is key. There are certain circumstances to observe when getting ready to go out for the day, with articles of clothing to strap on for every fly-fishing need. While you may not always need everything mentioned, it's a nice overview of what's out there.

The Basics

Because fly-fishing requires you to be on the move, equipment is often out of reach. A quality fly-fishing vest or shirt can serve as a wearable tackle box, made of durable fabric, and with an abundance of pockets to store flies, hooks, and other supplies.  One important thing to keep in mind when choosing a vest or loading it up for the day is the way it distributes weight throughout your body. During a long day of fishing, a heavy vest puts more stress on your frame than you might think. Depending on the weather forecast, dress in layers so that you can add and remove clothing for your own comfort and safety.

Ready to Wade

Fly-fishing involves a great deal of time wading in water, so you’ll want to acquire a solid pair of wading boots. You’ll also want something to wear underneath them, as cold water temperatures can be uncomfortable, even through good boots. Just make sure that whatever you choose to wear is breathable. There are different types of wading apparel available, as each angler tends to settle on what they feel most comfortable (and dry) in.

Wet-Resistant

If possible, see that whatever you wear will dry relatively quickly if it happens to get wet. Even if you don’t think you’re in danger of falling in, splashing water and condensation can still be a nuisance over time. Besides, even the most experienced anglers take the occasional tumble. Some choose to wear a special belt over waders to keep them from becoming waterlogged in emergencies.

Blending In

Why go through the trouble of strategizing and casting perfectly if you’re scaring the fish away to begin with? Avoid bright, unnatural colors and go with neutral shades that blend in well with your surroundings. White, gray, brown, or even light blue are all fine choices when it comes to the color of your clothing.

Block the Sun
A pair of polarized sunglasses might be the most important item, aside from your rod, that you can bring fishing. Not only do sunglasses protect your eyes from the Sun’s rays, they also eliminate glare and allow you to more easily spot fish. To protect the rest of your body from the hot Sun, you’ll want to wear a brimmed hat and apply sunblock to exposed parts of your body. Even if the weather is a little chilly, the Sun can shine just the same.
