Fly Fishing has many different styles to choose from for today’s angler. Each method has distinct characteristics that differ from others. These differences speak to each angler who chooses the technique for ease, challenge, application, environment, or connection. A summary of each technique below includes history, casting techniques, hand placement, river position, and fishing approach. Fly Gyde offers the information to anglers, allowing you to understand better what is required of you when on the water.

In conclusion and, most importantly, is that without a proper understanding of reading water and fish-holding patterns, you can have a great day of casting with nothing to show other than adequate technique. Reading water is what certainly separates “casters” from fishermen. Hiring one of our guides is a great option to assist you in learning the subtle intricacies of reading water, and to boost your chances. There is no substitute for time on the water! At Fly Gyde, our partners and we have spent countless days chasing our passion and working hard to deliver you the result of those efforts.
