I’ve had many clients catching trout on their first or second cast or within 5 minutes of fishing, and these are guys who have never even touched a fly rod before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get my clients to catch trout as fast as possible, I follow the same basic steps, and this should be followed by all fly fishermen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • I set up their rod and line for the right method, which is based on the current conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I put on a good fly based on the conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I put my client in the right spot based on my knowledge of trout holding and feeding spots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I tell them what to do or how to fish the spot, and this is based on the conditions and the type of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And then they catch fish, so I teach them how to fight and land the trout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
