Manage episode 429144856 series 3563247
- Competitive fishing consists of different levels of competition, with regional competitions being smaller and interregional competitions being larger.
- The nationals are the biggest and most intense competition, with about 48 anglers.
- Fishing with a single fly allows for more control and reduces the chance of tangles.
- Adjusting the casting angle can change the sink rate and depth of the fly.
- Walking the beat before a session is important to understand the water and the fish's behavior.
- Adapting to changing conditions during a competition is crucial for success. Adjust fly patterns and presentation techniques to entice fish.
- Experiment with different flies, sizes, and levels in the water column.
- Jig streamers can be highly effective, and maintaining contact with the fly is crucial.
- Keep fly selection simple and focus on fishing close to structure.
- Confidence in fly selection is key to success.

A lot of you have been asking what I'm using these days. Specifically, I use products from these companies because they have been shown to last and be worth the money. They tend to last long and have good functionality. I'll try to add them to the podcasts from now on and keep the list up to date. Additionally, I'll be doing more reviews, but taking a look now is worthwhile.
