I'm new to fly-fishing could someone help me and tell me how to put the line through the loops is it just like a spinning rod when u go to tie the fly on and stuff?? Whats flys work good for trout in late summer and how to everything else thank you

Mo Fishing:

Simply take the fly line and run through the guides like you would line on a spinning rod. You then need to attach a tapered fly leader (typically monofilament) with a splicing knot. Leaders come in different line tests and lengths, but you can also make your own. What weight fly rod are you using? And what kind of trout do you plan to fish?

As for late summer trout flies, you've got a lot of options. Small bead-headed nymphs work well throughout the seasons; you can't go wrong with a bead-head prince nymph, especially if you're new to the game. Also, larger terrestrials like grasshopper and cricket imitators work well in late-summer, especially if you're fishing waters near tall grasses and meadows.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

You can do more searches for this.. Fishing knots. Should tell u how to tie the backing to the spool and the backing to the fly line. Also how to tie the leader to the line.. It is confusing but you will get the hang of things. Im also new. I learned it in about 7 days of just practicing my cast in my backyard. over hand cast and the roll cast. Roll cast is the most important cast so that should be the first u learn. I watched clips on youtube and also read some stuff on the searches i did for fly fishing. I also learned that you have to play with the fish you cant just wind in like a spinning reel. The drag stops on a fly reel when u wind in. Any flies at the local shop should work but some do work better so i would ask someone working witch 1 might be popular. Hope this helps.

for fall try some white wooly buggers and marabou muddlers. fish them almost like a nymph, with not a whole lot of action.
in winter try tying a wool ball on your line as a strike indicator. use nymphs and attractors. and fish in pockets and behind rocks.
should catch some big brown trout.

Around our neck of the woods (California Sierra Mountains), we can still toss size 16-22 EHC, BWO or other dry flies in the dead of winter with snow on the ground and pick up some nice browns and 'bows during an early afternoon hatch. That's always my preference for fly fishing. However, nymphing is probably the preferred method for many fly fishermen, especially in deeper, slower holes.
