Fly Fishing
 |
| 1. |
Although the
property is private, we still operate under Fish &
Game guidelines and regulations. Therefore, FISHING
LICENSES ARE REQUIRED and must be displayed. |
| 2. |
All of the ranch
fishing is fly fishing with BARBLESS HOOKS, catch
and release only. |
| 3. |
Rods of 3-5
wt. are ideal. Leaders 7' - 10' tapered to 4x are ideal.
With tippet spools of 4x, 5x and 6x, you can build leaders
for stream or lake fishing and using streamer type flies
that demand those heavier tippets of 3x and 4x to dry
fly leaders then may require you to go all the way down
to 6x or maybe even 7x. Normally, you will use the shorter
leaders for the stream and those longer ones for the lakes. |

 |
| 4. |
Hip waders with
felt soles are perfect for the stream or for fishing from
shore on the lakes. Chest waders are needed if you plan
to float tube the lakes. |
| 5. |
PLEASE, NO
HARD NYLON OR COTTON NETS!!!! |
| 6. |
Hemostats and
soft nylon nets will make it easier to land the bigger
fish and release them quickly. |
|
| PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE |
 |
BRING EACH FISH TO NET OR HAND
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. |
|
DO NOT DRAG THE FISH UP ON THE
BANKS OR HOLD THEM OVER LAND. |
|
KEEP THE FISH IN THE WATER WHILE DISENGAGING
THE HOOK. USING A HEMOSTAT IS REALLY HELPFUL - YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TOUCH THE FISH. JUST REACH DOWN, ENGAGE THE HOOK, AND WITH
A QUICK TWIST, THE FISH IS RELEASED WITH NO HANDLING WHATSOEVER. |
|
WHEN TAKING PICTURES, HOLD THE FISH OVER WATER.
KEEP THEM IN THE WATER UNTIL JUST BEFORE YOU HAVE THE PICTURE
TAKEN, AND THEN TAKE ONLY 2-3 SECOND TO SNAP THAT SHOT. |
