Just think of it this way, a tuna would never attack a shark. If the
fish you are trying to catch thinks it is being attacked, it will not
try and eat its predator. Doing so would be foolish on the part of the
fish because it would just be committing itself to a foolish death.
Based on this, the importance of being able to retrieve a line properly
is ever so prevalent.
The next technique that is involved with fly fishing on the ocean is
the stance that you have when trying to pull a fish in. Hooking a large
fish is half of the battle, but if the fish is a fighter you may have a
difficult task of pulling the fish in. This is where your balanced
stance comes into play. Many novice fishermen don't stand properly and
sometimes fall over when fishing or have to cut their line. Having a
stance that keeps you balanced is vital if you want to pull a powerful
fish in. When you learn this, it will be one of your most important
techniques.
A proper stance has one foot forward and one foot back with body weight
leaning slightly back. By leaning back slightly you will be able to
adjust if the fish pulls you forward. This stance will make it
significantly more difficult for the fish to pull you in or get extra
line. By using these fishing techniques you will be able to easily
catch tons of fish every time you go out for fly fishing.
Ocean fly fishing is like anything else in life because technique is
what brings success. If you are an inexperienced fisher there is no
need to worry, just get out on the ocean and practice these techniques!
