Dry flies
Emerging mayflies (and other terrestrial bugs) are often eaten by trout. Some trout will feed on sight, but most take their food from below the surface. Because of their abundance of mayflies and their ability to imitate, they are the best choice for dry fly insects for trout. These insects are used for trout fishing, especially in the Eastern United States.
Hoppers
Hoppers fly fishing apparel comes in many forms. If you purchase them at a discount price, you can save lots of money. These shirts are lightweight and made from a special fabric that is 40% organic cotton and 60% recycled polyester. These shirts are comfortable and have reach-through chest pockets. An included hidden hemo holder is also available. Hoppers fly fishing clothing is easy to clean.
Streamers
Streamers are the most important part of your fly fishing attire. Streamers are similar to baitfish or aquatic insects, so they work best when the hatch is low and water is clear. The right colors can help you catch more fish. You should try different patterns and colors to find the best combination for your situation. Some fish prefer certain colors, while others prefer more subtle patterns. If you are a beginner, it's a good idea to stick to black and olive colors and slowly introduce pearlescent white themes. Remember that freshwater fish will eat anything that looks like an insect or vertebrate, so fishing with streamers of darker colors in clear water is a good idea.
Shirts
Most fly fishing shirts feature a large vent across the back. The best designs allow air to flow around the armpits and front. These vents should be covered by a light mesh in order to stop insects entering. Also, when it is hot, shirt are essential. The sun's rays can be reflected off of shirts, helping to keep you cool and warm during the colder months.
Hats
Traditionally, a fly fisherman wears a flannel shirt and ballcap, but a dedicated fishing hat can give you that extra bit of water-borne mojo. With its wide, comfortable fit, and flat brim, the Howler Brothers Hat pays homage to mangroves. Its navy blue underside adds a nautical flair. It provides protection from the sun and mosquitoes.
Waders
Waders are an excellent choice for fly fishing when worn with the appropriate clothing. For warmer months, you can choose to wear lightweight pants, shorts, or thermal wader trousers. Wear a rain jacket, or a zip-off jacket underneath your waders to keep cool. You may prefer to wear an elongated shirt. Thermal wader pants are a great choice for cold weather.
