Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak
By Talkin Sport Wednesday, 25 August 2010
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could Immediately take the words back...
Or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....
FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow And asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'
I turned around and walked back out and never went back My husband didn't say a word...
He knew better.
SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.
I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.
After browsing for several minutes,
I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store.
He asked if he could help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with men's balls.'
THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and
Passed by a store that sold a
Variety of candy and nuts.
As we were looking at the display case,
The boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.
I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.'
My sister started to laugh hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, My sister has never let me forget.
FOURTH TESTIMONY :
While in line at the bank one afternoon, My toddler decided to release Some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of
Her after receiving looks of disgust
And annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not start behaving 'right now' she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you Kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
I mustered up the last of my dignity and Walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.
FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly.
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands It was very busy, with a full dining room While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, So of course I checked My seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.
Then I realized that Danny
Had not asked to go potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go,
And he said 'No' .
I kept thinking
'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.'
Then I said,
' Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'
' No,' he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse.
Soooooo, I asked one more time, ' Danny did you have an accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, Bent over, spread his cheeks And yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, He calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
An old couple made me feel better,
Thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days And a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, In the future, likely think before she speaks.
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any!
We had a female news anchor that,
The day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, Turned to the weatherman and asked:
'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?'
Not only did HE have to leave the set,
But half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!
Now, didn't that feel good?
And remember
We all say things we don't really mean,
So think before you speak!!!
High Urinals
By Talkin Sport Wednesday, 18 August 2010
A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill Downs ) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon) but mostly to see the horses.
When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal.
Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, holding on to their 'wee-wees' to direct the flow away from their clothes.
As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, 'You must be in the 5th grade.'
'No, ma'am', he replied. 'I'm riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help.'
Sometimes ya jes' gotta bend the rules . . .

The Cat Fish Tale
By Talkin Sport Friday, 30 July 2010
A guy who lives at Lake Macquarie (50 miles north of Gosford) saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth!!
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to Dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface.
The bloke tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.
You probably wouldn't have believed this, if you hadn't seen the following pictures...

Theory of Intelligence
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 24 July 2010
I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this.
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of alcohol eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few drinks"..
Broccoli Casserole
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 17 July 2010
A woman goes to her boyfriend's parents' house for Christmas dinner.
This is to be her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous.
They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal.
The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty fart.
It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the poof.
Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing under the woman's chair, and said in a rather stern voice, 'Skippy!'.
The woman thought, 'This is great!' and a big smile came across her face.
A couple of minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again.
This time, she didn't even hesitate. She let a much louder and longer rrrrrip.
The father again looked at the dog and yelled, 'Skippy!'
Once again the woman smiled and thought 'Yes!' A few minutes later the woman had to let another rip.. This time she didn't even think about it.
She let a fart rip that rivaled a train whistle blowing.
Once again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, 'Skippy, get away from her, before she shits on you!'
Poetry
By Talkin Sport Thursday, 1 July 2010
WOMAN'S POEM:
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's rich and self-employed,
And when I spend, won't be annoyed.
Pull out my chair and hold my hand.
Massage my feet and help me stand.
Oh send a king to make me queen.
A man who loves to cook and clean.
I pray this man will love no other.
And relish visits with my mother.
A MAN'S POEM:
I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with
big tits who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and drinking. This
doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit.

Finding a woman sobbing that she had locked her keys in her car, a passing soldier assures her that he can help.
She looks on amazed as he removes his trousers, rolls them into a tight ball and rubs them against the car door.
Magically it opens.
"That's so clever," the woman gasps. "How did you do it?"
"Easy," replies the man. "These are my khakis".

Fish
By Talkin Sport Tuesday, 13 April 2010
At a Senior Citizen's luncheon, an elderly gentleman and an elderly lady struck up a conversation and discovered that they both loved to fish.
Since both of them were widowed, they decided to go fishing together the next day.
The gentleman picked the lady up, and they headed to the river to his fishing boat and started out on their adventure.
They were riding down the river when there was a fork in the river, and the gentleman asked the lady,
'Do you want to go up or down?'
All of a sudden the lady stripped off her shirt and pants and made mad passionate love to the man right there in the boat !
When they finished, the man couldn't believe what had just happened, but he had just experienced the best sex that he'd had in years.
They fished for a while and continued on down the river, when soon they came upon another fork in the river.
He again asked the lady , 'Up or down ?'
There she went again, stripped off her clothes, and made wild passionate love to him again.
This really impressed the elderly gentleman, so he asked her to go fishing again the next day.
She said yes and there they were the next day, riding in the boat when they came upon the fork in river, and the elderly gentleman asked, 'Up or down ?'
The woman replied, 'Down.'
A little puzzled and disappointed, the gentleman guided the boat down the river when he came upon another fork in the river and he asked the lady,'Up or down ?'
She replied, 'Up.'
This really confused the gentleman so he asked,
'What's the deal? Yesterday, every time I asked you if you wanted to go up or down you made mad passionate love to me. Now today, nothing!'
She replied, 'Well, yesterday I wasn't wearing my hearing aid and I thought the choices were fuck or drown.

Bottle Of Wine
By Talkin Sport Friday, 2 April 2010
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Mondaymorning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, butamazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways.
After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers.
The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.'
Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God! But you're still at fault...women shouldn't be allowed to drive.'
The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune. She hands the bottle to the man.
The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'
The woman replies, 'No. I think I'll just wait for the police...'

Never lie to your mum!
By Talkin Sport Monday, 29 March 2010
Peter invited his mother for dinner, during the course of the meal; his mother couldn't help but notice how lovely Peter's flat mate, Joanne, was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Peter and his flat mate than met the eye. Reading his mum's thoughts, Peter volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Joanne & I are just flat mates'.
About a week later, Joanne came to Peter saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she took it do you?
'Well I doubt it, but I'll a-mail her just to be sure' said Peter.
So he sat down and wrote
DEAR MOTHER,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID' TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID NOT' TAKE THE FRYING PAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER.
LOVE PETER
Several days later, Peter received an email from his mother which read
DEAR SON,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO' SLEEP WITH JOANNE.
AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO NOT' SLEEP WITH JOANNE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF SHE WAS SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED, SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE FRYING PAN BY NOW.
LOVE MUM
Lobster Puzzle
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 27 March 2010
This is much more fun than that old picture where you tried to find the man's face in coffee beans. Every so often a clever picture comes along that camouflages something for us to find. This is one such picture.
Hidden within this picture, I am told, are two lobsters. Go ahead and try to find them.
If you find the lobsters in 5 minutes, the left side of your brain is normal. I looked for 15 minutes and couldn't find them. I guess my brain is "abnormal." I am told women find the lobsters much quicker. It probably has something to do with the wiring in the brain.
Good luck

Best Time Of Day To Fish
By Talkin Sport Sunday, 28 February 2010
One of the most consistent times for hooking into fish is “before” the crack of dawn. In most cases that means that the bite will remain on from the first sliver of light until about nine in the morning. There are many variables that come along with figuring out some of the best times to fish but the first part of the day is very reliable; however, that means that intrepid anglers must be out the door and on the way to the water long before the first light of day. There are sometimes when the best fishing happens to be the farthest away from home, depending on the time of year and species of fish, which is why it's important to do elements of geographical research before considering “where” to fish. Once you know where figuring out how long it will take to get there is fairly easy and that quickly identifies the best times to leave so as to be on the water before crepuscular rays.

A man was stopped by a game-warden
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 20 February 2010
A man was stopped by a game-warden in Northern Algonquin Park recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing
The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"
The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?!" the warden replied.
"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"
The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."
"O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious.
The man poured the fish in to the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" the man responded.
"When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted.
"Call who back?" the man asked.
"The FISH"
"What fish?" the man asked.
How to Spot Fish in the Surf
By Talkin Sport Friday, 12 February 2010
When looking for beach structure we distinguish features mainly by colour and wave movements, a similar approach can be used for spotting individuals and schools of fish in the surf.
This may sound like an oxymoron but what you are going to be looking for are things that shouldn't be where they are and should not be doing what they are doing. Dark patches that move, ripples in otherwise calm areas, splashes where there is no turbulence, moving shapes and shadows can all be indications of fish, but just to complicate matters some of these things at times may only be sea weed, jellyfish or simply shadow from dispersing foam or an isolated cloud.
This time instead of average weather and sea conditions we are going to assume optimal conditions and take a fantasy walk along the beach to spot some of the most likely species. We have come to a large V shaped gutter with a bank starting from the shore and projecting into the ocean at approximately a 45 degree angle into progressively deeper water with a second bank outside of it giving us the best chance of spotting almost any fish species we wish to find.
Starting from the beach and working out, we watch a wave wash up on the beach and as the foam clears and the wave recedes notice a thin shadow that upon closer scrutiny also has the opaque shape of a whiting just beside it that quickly disappears into the turbulence of churning sand thrown up by the meeting of the receding water and next incoming wave. You have to be quick, few fish will hang around long enough to smile so you can take their picture.
A slow moving dark roundish shape appears in the bottom of a following wave as it prepares to break. It could just be a discarded plastic bait bag drifting along in the current, but a cast past and retrieved along the line it is moving has the rod buckling under the weight of a good sized bream.
In the middle of the V gutter a mullet jumps and gives away the position of a small group of mullet swimming along near the surface with their fins breaking the surface (finning). A good sign as usually where there are mullet, bream, tailor, jew and a few other species will be close by waiting to take their toll on the poor old mullet schools numbers. Our attention now focuses on several manhole sized shapes casually moving against the current near the bank, something definitely alive and swimming to do that, and watch as the school of rays slowly move on.
Time to get our feet wet and as we quietly walk out along the shallow bank of the V gutter notice whiting slide a safe distance away from us before we disturb a good sized flathead that had positioned herself atop the bank and dashes away to the safety of deeper water pursued by several smaller accompanying males.
Several terns swoop down into a solid but changing dark patch of water between the two banks and pluck out small baitfish as mini eruptions of water that resemble a stick being quickly swept through the water but originating from beneath them discloses the presence of long toms and probably trevally.
On the reforming waves inside the outer bank small pock marks not unlike what happens when a stone is dropped into the water signals the destruction of more baitfish as they are hit mercilessly from below by hungry tailor.
Just inside the clean face of a soon to start breaking wave shows several fish riding it in and sweeping off to one side just before it breaks, demonstrating a fairly typical school of dart.
On the back of the outer bank a large black shape is making a beeline for the outlet that will bring it into the gutter we are wanting to fish, while standing in the thigh deep water of the V gutters bank.
A glance at one another and the decision is easily made to retire quickly but calmly back to the beach, while at the same time maintaining a visual of the dark 2 to 3 metre shape closing the range. After all something like that which hasn't gone "Pffft" in the time we have been watching it can only be one thing.
It's a shame every day couldn't be like that but often you will get to see at least two or three of those I described if you are observant. The shark in the last passage won't happen very often at all, but can happen so keep your eyes peeled because we want fish for dinner not to be dinner for fish.
A Fisherman's Tale
By Talkin Sport Sunday, 31 January 2010
Two fellas are fishing in a boat under a bridge.
One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge.
He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head.
The procession crosses the bridge and the man puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and continues fishing.
The other guy says, "That was touching. I didn't know you had it in you."
The first guy responds, "Well, I guess it was the thing to do - after all, I was married to her for 40 years."

Saltwater Fishing Lures
By Talkin Sport Thursday, 28 January 2010
How much do you like fishing? Do you relax and get detached from mundane concerns when on a fishing expedition? If so, for both fresh and saltwater fishing, you should always be prepared to do it properly in order to also catch fish. This material aims at briefly describing the use of saltwater fishing lures and the ways to properly select them. The utility of a lure is justified by its resemblance with fish. All types of fishing lures, and there are many of them, are designed to look like dying fish and fast moving fish, thus attracting the predators your own prey.
Therefore, when you go on your saltwater fishing trips you probably want to have the best saltwater fishing lures and tackles in general. The lures selection could easily become a real challenge. Yet, solutions do exist, there are many models and lots of info on each of them to help. The fishing location, the species you are after, the time of the year when you go fishing, as well as personal preference influence the choice of the right tools.
Saltwater fishing lures differ depending on the species you try to catch; the minolure works well for trout, Millies Bucktail is good for bonefish, mackerel is easily caught by using diamond shaped, gold or silver spoons but for the surface king mackerel it is better to use a cedar plug. Jiggs, poppers and lures imitating bait fish work pretty well in the case of bass .
Although simplistic, spoons have the most extensive fishing range from all the saltwater fishing lures, since they are very effective and easy to use, and quite cheap. Spinners consisting of a blade placed on a spindle that rotates when reeled in or let out on the water thus imitating the scales and movement of bait fish make one other good choice. Surface lures, suspending plugs, floating drivers and sinking plugs are also popular among saltwater fishermen.
The only relevant conclusion is that you need equipment, and fishing as a leisure activity would lose part of its charm if you had to improvise too much. If you want the best results to come out of the expedition also consider buying the most suitable saltwater fishing lures.
Night Fishing
By Talkin Sport Tuesday, 26 January 2010
IS NIGHT FISHING BETTER THAN DAY FISHING?
This really depends on the species you are targeting. Day fishing is more productive if fishing in coloured water than in clear water and also better on cloudy days than bright sunny days. Also day fishing is probably more convenient for the whole family to enjoy.
However, night fishing can produce some excellent sized fish especially the big predatory type fish that come in closer to feed at night.
Night fishing is a great expe and an excellent way of testing all your senses. You have to cast in the dark and use your ears to listen to your line going out(it always sounds like it's going out a long way). You have to feel when your sinker hits the water or the bottom so that you can readily take up any slack. You wil be on full alert at all times. Of course, to make life easier, take a good lamp and/or torch with you. Attach a tip light to your rod so that you can easily see any bites and that your rod is actually still standing up and hasn't been washed down by the incoming tide.
DO LUMINOUS ATTRACTORS REALLY WORK?
Yes, yes, yes. They really do. From a number of experiments we've carried out, the rigs with luminous tubing and beads have definetly caught far more fish than the ones without.
Just shine your torch on the luminous tubes for a few seconds before casting to increase the glow.
Fishing Tip
By Talkin Sport Tuesday, 26 January 2010
Use Attractor Beads, Luminous Tube, and flashy things on your rig near the hook to help attract fish to your bait.
If you know that snapper or other large bitey fish are being caught in your area at the time, use strong rigs and put some protective tubing on your trace near the hook to help avoid being bitten off.

Which Bait?
By Talkin Sport Sunday, 24 January 2010
When going out on your fishing trip, take a variety of bait with you. Usually pilchards, bonito, trevally and mackerel work well.
If you know fish are there and they are not biting what you are offering, then try some other type of bait.
When you do catch a fish, open it up and inspect it's stomach to see what they are eating. If they are eating very small baitfish then try to cut your bait in the same style to represent a small baitfish (a strip bait). If they are eating crabs then cut a big blobby shaped piece of bait. If they are eating worms, tie on a strip of red material to your bait to represent a worm.
Straight off the ground cast
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 23 January 2010
Good casts require a lot of practice. With this cast start facing in the direction you want to cast to. Place your sinker directly behind you in a straight line with it resting on the ground. Your rod tip should be pointing down in the same direction and in-line with the sinker. Maintain enough pressure on the line to just feel the weight of the sinker. (Don't forget to open up your bail arm on your reel and make sure drag is up tight).
Start the cast by using your body weight to pull the rod up in a smooth movement (to load up the power in your rod) and turning your body to face the right direction while pulling down your leading arm and finishing with a 'punch' from your trailing arm.
Releasing the line off your finger at the right moment also takes a lot of practice. A lot of people find it falls of their finger automatically, but try to release it when the rod is at about the 1 o'clock position. After casting, wind up any slack line, loosen off the drag a bit and place rod in your rod holder.

Why Fishing Is Better Than Sex!
By Talkin Sport Tuesday, 19 January 2010
When you go fishing and you catch something, that's good. If you're making love and you catch something, that's bad.
Fish don't compare you to other fishermen neither and don't want to know how many other fish you caught.
In fishing you lie about the one that got away. In loving you lie about the one you caught.
You can catch and release a fish, you don't have to lie and promise to still be friends after you let it go.
You don't have to necessarily change your line to keep catching fish.
You can catch a fish on a 20-cent nightcrawler. If you want to catch a woman you're talking dinner and a movie minimum.
Fish don't mind if you fall asleep in the middle of fishing.

FISHING OR SEX?????
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 16 January 2010
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place:
First guy: "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the house next weekend.
Second guy: "That's nothing, I had to promise my wife that I'll build her a new deck for the pool.
Third guy: "Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I'll remodel the kitchen for her."
They continue to fish when they realized the fourth guy has not said a word. So they asked him. "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. What's the deal?"
Fourth guy: "I just set my alarm for 5:30 AM. When it went off, I shut off the alarm, gave the wife a nudge and said, "Fishing or Sex" and she said, "Wear a sweater."

How to use bugs and droppers as bait
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 16 January 2010
Bugs
Bugs float on the surface and suggest larger insects, frogs, mice, crippled minnows, and so on. Bugs are fished with a floating or sinking-tip fly line. Use a floating line if you're fishing bugs just at the surface. A sinking-tip fly line, with a 4- to 6-foot leader, allows the fly to be fished at the surface, diving, swimming or surfacing.
For stillwater fishing, bugs are generally presented near or past the fish's location. Often they are most effective when presented near structures such as the bank, lily pads, logs, or overhanging trees. When cast over an object, a bug can be hopped or made to fall into the water to suggest a natural terrestrial food falling into the water.
Once on the surface, the bug is worked like a miniature puppet, being made to struggle or swim in an attempt to entice a strike. Usually, the more slowly these types of flies arc, moved, the more effective they are.
In moving water, bugs are generally cast at all current and eddy angles and fished with an action similar to what is used in still water. Line drag is avoided by casting-angle adjustments and line mending, as with dry flies. In moving water, bugs are usually fished near or off shoreline and surface structures.
Dropper Flies
Dropper flies (two or more flies) may be used on one leader to increase your chances of catching one or more fish on a cast (check regulations first). Such combinations as two to four wet flies, wet fly and streamer, nymph and streamer, or dry fly and nymph are often more effective than a single fly.
The larger, heavier fly should always be tied to the end of the leader and the smaller, lighter flies tied farther up the leader's tippet, except in the case of a dropper tied to the hook or eye of another fly. A dropper fly is attached to a leader by first tying a blood knot or surgeon's knot with a 4- to 6-inch tag of tippet material. The fly is then tied onto the long tag with a Duncan loop or improved clinch knot.
By using two or three flies at one time on your leader's tip and tippet, you can learn what the fish's preference is from repeated catches on one of the flies. Many times two, three, or four flies will also have an"emotional" or exciting effect On fish that might ignore a single fly. Casting two or more flies is, however, a bit more difficult than casting one fly and tangles are more frequent.
Using nymphs and streamers as bait
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 16 January 2010
Nymphs
Nymphs are designed to be fished below the surface, including on the bottom, of either calm or moving water. Nymphs mainly suggest (give a general impression) or imitate (give a detailed impression) immature aquatic insects.
But nymphs also may be used to suggest snails, scuds, leeches, crayfish, worms, and similar foods. Floating, intermediate, sinking-tip, and full-sinking fly lines are useful in various waters to fish nymphs.
For shallow, still, and moving water from 1 to 6 feet deep, the floating or intermediate lines are generally best. These lines allow the best overall fly action and control for nymphing. For medium depth (4 to 8 feet), especially in moving water, the sinking-tip fly line generally works best. For deeper water (8 to 20 feet), either still or moving, a full-sinking line generally performs best with nymphs.
In still water, the nymph is cast past the fish's swimming path or holding area. It is allowed to sink to the desired depth, then it is animated with the method that best suggests the live natural food.
In moving water, nymphs are fished in two basic ways. In the first method they are fished with a floating line. The nymph is cast upstream and allowed to sink and drift naturally downstream. The second way is with a sinking-tip or fullsinking line. The nymph is cast up and across stream to achieve the tight line-to-leader-to-fly contact needed to animate a nymph with a swimming action while retrieving it across or upstream.
Streamers
Streamers are usually designed to be fished below the surface to suggest or imitate the small fish, minnows, eels, leeches, and so on, that are swimming or drifting in the water. However, streamers are sometimes fished at the surface to imitate the feeding or crippled action of a small fish. Streamers, like nymphs, can be fished with all four fly-line types depending upon the action and the depth desired. The sinking tip is generally the best all-around streamer fly line.
In still water the streamer is presented near or beyond the fish's position and is retrieved past and away from the fish with an action that suggests the natural creature's panic or vulnerability.
In moving water the streamer may be presented at all angles to suggest the natural food's movement. Most small fish are strong swimmers and can live in areas from top to bottom in a stream. Perhaps the most popular streamer presentation is casting across the current and retrieving with erratic swimming and pausing action as the fly swims and swings down and across the flow.
This sideways motion suggests distress and vulnerability to a minnow-hungry fish. Once the streamer reaches the end of the drift, it is retrieved erratically upstream. Sometimes streamers are effective when cast upstream and allowed to drift downstream with the current, as if they were dying or helpless.
Wet flies, nymphs, and streamers perform best when they are tied using soft, water-absorbent materials. After they get wet, they take on the natural odors of the waters you fish. Before you begin fishing these three types, rub them on a wet algae-covered stone, on some aquatic vegetation, or on some silt taken from the bottom of the water you plan to fish. This simple wetting and deodorizing preparation will enhance your fly's ability to fool fish.
How to use flies: dries and wets
By Talkin Sport Saturday, 16 January 2010
Artificial flies can deceive fish into mistaking them for the real thing. There are five basic kinds of flies: dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, streamers, and bugs.
Dry Flies
Dry flies float on or in the surface to imitate terrestrial or aquatic insects. Generally, such insects float and move with the water's surface movements or with the wind's speed and direction. Dry flies are usually presented with a floating fly line and allowed to drift or float as naturally as possible.
If the real insect is active on the surface, you should attempt to impart a similar action to the artificial. On the other hand, if the natural is inactive, the imitation should also be inactive. Wind, variable horizontal current speeds, or both of these forces will often cause drag on the fly line, leader, and fly. Drag causes the imitation to move unnaturally. It can usually be avoided by proper presentation and mending of the fly line.
Most dry flies are designed and tied with materials that allow them to float partly above or in the water's surface film. However, if not treated with a waterproofing agent such as silicone or paraffin, they usually will soon become wet and sink. This is especially true when a fly has undergone repeated dunkings or has caught many fish.
Use a dry-fly spray or paste to waterproof the fly before you use it. Put on just enough to coat the entire fly very lightly. Sprays and liquids are a little easier to apply, but they are more expensive and do not last as long as the paste dry-fly flotants. Pastes will usually liquefy with the warmth of your fingers and solidify when fished.
If the dry fly begins to float too low or sink and does not improve after several water-removing false-casts, retrieve it and blot with an absorbent paper or cloth towel, tissue, or chamois leather. Absorbing the excess water will lighten the fly and serve also to clean it. Apply another coat of dry-fly dressing, and the fly should float like new. An absorbent towel or chamois is also very useful for cleaning and drying the fly after you remove it—wet, slimy, and matted—from a fish's mouth.
Wet Flies
Wet flies sink just below the surface or deeper and generally imitate aquatic insects swimming, emerging, egg-laying, or drifting helplessly in the water. Some wet flies also imitate small fish or submerged terrestrial insects. Wet flies can be fished with floating, sinking-tip, or full-sinking fly lines, depending upon the depth and angle of the desired fly movement.
On calm water, wet flies are usually presented on the far side of where you suspect a fish is swimming. The fly is then allowed to sink to the right depth. Then, with whatever action and speed will imitate the natural insect or small minnow, the fly is retrieved to and past the fish.
Many wet flies are made in highly colorful attractor or exciter patterns, especially those used for brook trout, bass, shad, panfish, salmon, and steelhead. These attractor flies are generally fished faster and in a less imitative manner in an attempt to attract and excite the fish.
Wet flies in moving water are generally presented in front of and just above the fish's position. They are drifted downstream or retrieved across or upstream, depending upon what they are designed to imitate and how they are meant to attract or excite the fish.
Some wet-fly methods use more than one fly on the leader (check regulations for waters you fish). Sometimes as many as six wet flies are used, although two flies are much more common. Multiple wet flies are usually fished on and just below the surface.
