Going Fishing
Every year about this time, we make our annual pilgrimage to the
waters of the Atlantic to go striped bass fishing. Loading the
boat with all the essentials, such as something cool to quaff
and piles of sandwiches, we grab our rods and reels and sally
forth. But wait - did we forget something? Sure did - we need to
have bait. What are they biting on this time of year?
Fortunately there is a bait shop on the way out, so we tie up to
the dock and go inside. There we talk with the owner who ...

Fish Health in Hot Summer Heat
Summer is over, but for many of us - the heat remains. Here a
couple of things to do to keep your fish healthy and your pond
clear going into winter. First, remember to keep your pond well
aerated. This is very important to your fish because the pond
water actually holds less oxygen at higher pond temperatures. So
if it's still hot in your part of the country, keep those
waterfalls and fountains running! This will keep your pond water
full of oxygen, and reduce stress on your fish. If you see ...

Your Child's Goldfish ~ easy, inexpensive care ~
Goldfish are popular starter pets for children and a good

years.
Getting Ready
The day before you take your child to the pet shop, fill clean

of water so that it has 24 to 48 hours in which to allow

The Importance of Fly Lines
Why are fly lines so important? Just like with fly rods and fly
reels, fly lines need to match up with the types of fly fishing
that you do. This match should be made precisely, too. Thus, if

extremely important to make sure you have a 5 weight fly line.

Fly Line Summary
Well, if you've read this far, you should have a good knowledge
about fly lines. But, let's sum things up.
1. Fly Line Weight - The weight of a fly line should be the same
as the weight of your fly rod and fly reel. Using the wrong
weight fly line will unbalance a fly rod, leading to poor
casting and long days on the water.
2. Fly Line Taper - The taper of a fly line refers to
enhancements made to the fly line to provide better casting. The
most popular taper is the weight-forward taper, which ...

to provide for better casts and longer fly line life. Fly lines
need to be cleaned for best casting. Additionally, by cleaning

saving you money as well as time and hassle in changing out the

tendency to pull out large amounts of fly line, don't forget
about chaning out your fly line backing occasionally, too.

Why Night Fishing Beats Day Fishing Any Day of the Week

at night. In almost every circumstance, you will catch bigger
fish at night than you can during the day. There are several
reasons for this. Bigger fish tend to feed at night. Maybe the
reason these fish were able to get so big is because they were

Over-wintering pond fish
The metabolism of koi and goldfish is controlled primarily by
water temperature. As the water cools, pond fish require less
protein in their diet. When koi and goldfish are fed
high-protein food in cool water, the excess protein is excreted
as ammonia from the gills. The microscopic organisms that make
up the biological filter (and consume ammonia) also slow down in
cooler water. Improper seasonal feeding can lead to a build-up
of toxic ammonia, which stresses fish and reduces their ...

This sounds strange but it's quite simple. By putting stream
trout species into lakes, the fish can grow larger and offer

Fish Hobbies
Fish tanks and aquariums are a popular hobby for people of all
ages. People can sit and stare at fish for hours. I remember
when I received my first fish tank. It was the most exciting
thing of my life. I had never had fish before and did not even
think about getting any. One day, however, I was down at the
local pet shop and they had a contest or drawing where the
winner would receive a free fish tank. I had never one a drawing
like that before, and did not anticipate winning, nor did I
think ...

How to Choose between Goldfish and KOI
Many people have asked us over the years "Should I add goldfish
or KOI (or both) to my pond? The answer is "it depends."
Goldfish are better suited to smaller water gardens and ponds,
in the 50 - 500 gallon range. Goldfish are extremely hardy and
easy to care for, which makes them the perfect choice for the
new pond owner or water gardener.
KOI Feeding
KOI, on the other hand, require a little more knowledge and
better water quality in most cases, than goldfish and are better

A simple way to identify and catch the big one in river!
River dry fly fishing considered as the purest form of fly
fishing inspired generations of writers, artists, poets and even
philosophers to wax lyrical about its pleasures.
The gist to river dry fly fishing lies in the rise. Here, the
angler waits patiently for a rise to begin before he or she
starts to fish. And the art comes in persuading a particular
trout to take your artifical pattern among a host of natural
flies.
Rise forms vary widely from hour-to hour and river-to river.

wait very long, but some days we all know that the wait can be

Spring and Pawl Drag Fly Fishing Reels
The first type of drag system is the traditional Spring-and
Pawl-drag. Just because this drag type if traditional doesn't
mean it's outdated. In fact, spring-and-pawl fly reels are ideal
for trout fishing, particularly when using light tippets. When
line is pulled out of a quality spring-and-pawl fly reel, it is
pulled out very smoothly indeed. There is no "jerkiness" or
"unevenness" in the tension that is applied to the line. The
line instead leaves the reel at a very smooth rate, without ...
