Sea Fly Fishing - A sail fish jumps after being hooked

Sea fly fishing is now becoming very popular with just about everyone who has a fly rod, far from the river or lake type of fly fishing, this is very different because of the special tackle you will need, for instance the rods will have to be treated against salt erosion as the reels and lines will too.

You also need a stronger saltwater fly rod to take the pressure of probably larger and fast fighting fish species such as bone fish, marlin, sail fish, tuna to name but a few, for all the salt water species of fish you are most likely to catch on the fly, take a look at some saltwater fish names and pictures to help you recognise that species.

The Fly Rod

Probably the best type of saltwater fly rods to use for all of your sea fly fishing would be a lengh of around nine feet and preferably built for sea fly fishing, these rods are very strong and robust and also quite light, they need to have the strengh to cast larger flies and handle larger fish in wilder conditions than what we normaly find on land.

All that said, if you are going to sea fly fish inshore, just about any saltwater fly rod would do, but i would use a rating not less than a #8 for smaller species and a #9 to #17 for larger species.

The Fly Reel

Without question, this has to be saltwater erosion proof for obvious reasons, the gearing mechanism inside the reel would not last long if it was not treated for salt water use. There are different sized saltwater fly reels to rate with the size of fly rod you are going to use, again, if you are using a rod rating of #9 plus then you will use a reel rating of #9 plus also.

Single saltwater fly reels and fly rods can have ratings of different sizes such as this: #9/10 this means that the reel can hold either size of that line rating, also to remember is, as the rating goes higher then the reel is going to be larger and a bit more heavier.

The Fly Line

The saltwater fly fishing line yet again, has to be the right sort of line for the job, meaning that it is especialy made for saltwater, as stated above they come in all sizes but a #8/9 for inshore and #10/17 for offshore are probably the best to use as sea conditions are harsher than our lakes and rivers.

Floating or sinking lines? it depends on conditions, i find that when it's a bit rough inshore a sinking line works well as fish come in to feed they are most likely to be nearer the bottom, however, it is worth experimenting untill you hit on, try a sinking line first, if all fails then use a floating line, the same is to be said for deeper waters.

Using a saltwater fly fishing line is all in the experience, you will probably come into contact with someone who has the experience, if not then practice is the best form of gaining that knowledge, when you go out in a boat to start your first sea fly fishing session, more often than not there will be someone with the experience to guide you, watch how they do it.

It is well worth sea fly fishing from the shore especialy from flat rocks where you know the water is quite deep, this can give you the experiance you might need using new equipment and also experiment with lines and different flies, and never go fishing without a good fishing life jacket just in case you slip into the water, a full floatation suite should be worn while boat fishing.

Lastly, please remember that all your gear, rod, reel, line should all match the ratings, in other words if you were interested in getting a rod rated at #9/10 then make sure that the reel and line are also the same rating.

The Flies

Actually any large fly will do, if you are fishing the fly in saltwater infact the bigger the better for larger fish, a white fly is my favorite, it seems to stick out from the rest and most bait fish have white colorings on them and this is what a fly is trying to resemble, general inshore flies such as shrimp flies, deceivers, streamers are ideal in smaller sizes and the same are just as good in larger sizes offshore.

There are also plastic lures you can use such as the popper type flies, and plastic bait fish lookalikes. My favorite has to be the squid fly as this catches fish either inshore or offshore, it has a great movement in the water just like the real thing and this is what the fish will go for, something with real movement about it.

Finding Your Tackle And Making Sure It Is Salt Resistant

When all is said, where do you find the appropriate tackle to start sea fly fishing? first of all it does not pay to buy cheap and at the same time you have to have the sea fly fishing gear that is absolutely right for sea fly fishing conditions.

In other words salt resistant, you just can not do without this, otherwise it will cost you more when you have to buy again when you find out that the gear you purchased in the first place was not infact salt resistant afterall.
