i’m assuming that you want a vanishing flouro for its visibility out of water (?) i would go with berkley’s vanish line of flouro. they have regular line that, well, vanishes when under water but can be well seen above water. they also have the vanish “gold” series that does the same thing only the line is a gold color but again, it disappears completely under all types of water. i personally prefer those two products as well as many pros on bass circuits. Berkley has in my opinion the best flouro out there.

does any one know any good fly fishing tips thanks
this is a pretty general question- I’ll try to give you a few helpful hints, though. 1. Oftentimes to be effective, you need to sneak up on the water and cast from your knees- this can be tough on your knees and your waders. Beat this by purchasing some carpenters knee pads at the hardware store. Mine have thick padding and hardshell caps on the knees- protects me and my waders from damage. 2. When tying flies, sometimes you wnt a weighted fly, and sometimes an unweighted fly. I tie my weighted flies with a different color of thread, so the “Head” is a different color on my weighted flies than my unweighted flies, and I can tell the difference just by looking at them. 3. tapered leaders and tippet come off the spools in curls- to straighten them, you need a leader straightener. You can make one by cutting out a patch of bicycle inner tube, punching a hole and tying it to your vest. Pinch the leader in the piece of tube and pull, and it will straighten out the leader. 4. tying small flies to your leader can be difficult when you have larger fingers. to beat this, i carry a small pair of hackle pliers. Grab the fly in the jaws of the hackle pliers and its much easier to turn the fly to tie the knot. Mine are fastened to my tool set with a swivel, so as I turn the pliers, it doesn’t get all twisted up. 5. You can get away with one stye of fly to cover multiple stages of a caddis hatch by tying flies in a certain way, then trimming them to match either the adult, the emerger, or the pupae. tie them with a full wing, and a trailing tail of antron yarn. for the adult, cut off the anton tail. for an emerger, leave the tail, and trim off about half the wing. For a pupae, leave the tail, trim the wing to a stub. For the larvae, trim off the tail and all of the wing. Saves having to carry multiple styles of flies. And saves money, too. If it is legal where you are, try using a larger dry fly and a small nymph trailing from it. The dry fly may take fish, and also serves as a strike indicator for the small nymph. Tie the dry fly to your tippet, then tie a 12-18 inch piece of tippet to the bend of the dry fly and then tie the nymph onto that. Again, this is not legal everywhere- some spots are single fly only, so make sure its okay before you do it. I could go on, but thats all the time I have. Good luck

This is a look at a basic nymph and strike indicator setup that we often fish with. It involves 2 nymphs, a strike indicator, split shot, and flourocarbon tippet. It will work on any larger stream throughout the west, and we use this basic approach guiding most everyday. If you have any questions, please just give us an email at info@redsflyshop.com Also, we offer many basic courses on fly fishing at our lodge and fly shop throughout the year.
