Stillwater Fly Fishing British Columbia

The ideal fly rod for BC stillwater fishing is between nine and ten feet in length and matched to a 5 or 6 weight fly line. Several different fly lines are required to effectively cover the various depth zones of water that the trout may be feeding in, as well as to imitate the movement of particular food sources. <br>http://www.caverhilllodge.com/media-room/articles/a-primer-on-stillwater-fly-fishing/

  2. The ideal fly rod for BC stillwater fishing is between nine and ten feet in length and matched to a 5 or 6 weight fly line. Several different fly lines are required to effectively cover the various depth zones of water that the trout may be feeding in, as well as to imitate the movement of particular food sources.

  3. A slow sinking fly line is very effective in fishing leeches, mayfly nymphs, caddis pupae, damselfly nymphs and water boatman and dragonfly nymphs. Slow sinking lines sink at a rate of 1.5 to 2 inches/second. This slow sinking nature allows flies to be retrieved on a very gradual angle off the lake bottom towards the surface of the lake which imitates well the natural movement of the insects or other food sources. Leaders should be between 9 and 12 feet in length when using this line.

  4. A fast sinking fly line (Type III or IV) is also an important part of your tackle bag when fishing stillwaters. These lines sink at between 3 and 5 inches/second and are an excellent choice when fishing water boatman or backswimmers, fishing the edges of drop-offs or for trolling leeches, dragonfly nymphs and other searching style fly patterns. Leaders should be between 9 and 12 feet in length. Anglers should always carry tippet material so that leaders can be rebuilt or lengthened as required. Extra spools of 3X, 4X and 5X will cover off all the fishing situations one may encounter in these lakes. Fluorocarbon leaders and tippet material have several advantages over monofilament including smaller diameter, less visible in water and stronger so you may want to consider having some in your gear bag. Just remember not to use it when fishing dry flies as it is stiffer and sinks much faster than monofilament.
