The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

Pickerel fising New Bruswick is great fun and most of the time I use my spinning rod and plastic baits while fishing deep in the weeds. It’s just so cool to watch their wakes coming from all directions.

Every once in a while when the conditions are just right I like to get out my fly rod and try a few flies on these toothy chain pickerel. It’s a whole new feeling for fishing pickerel.

I usually tie on a pretty heavy section of mono instead of trying to use a steel leader. I lose some flies but I find it’s so much easier for to cast without the steel leader and personally I feel I get caught up in the weeds far less as well.

I have never been choosey as to which fly to use. I find the pickerel will go after just about anything but I do have more action if I use flies with a bit of bright blood red in it.

I also have, well had, a couple of brown frogs and mice that float really well and make it tough for the pickerel to ignore as they are dragged or popped across the top of the weeds, especially lily pads. Works just like it does for smallmouth bass.

I don’t think I have ever used a sinking fly on pickerel, the top water action is just too enticing for me and I am a very visual guy who loves the top water action.

You might think that surf fishing is a calm and easy way to have fun but the fact of the matter is, it is a lot more difficult than many might think. There are a lot of preparations that even expert fishermen undergo while planning for surf fishing. Calculations like wave height, the current, wind direction and rock positioning should be taken into consideration to be successful in surf fishing. All these information are taken into consideration before you start and cast your line. You need to learn some surf fishing basics even though you consider yourself a game fisherman or something.

I have had an experience in surf fishing two years ago, persuaded by a friend. So, there we were on the beach on the beach. He had the best catch while I had none and I thought that doing fishing on a lake is much better than surf fishing. But after he lend me a book guide that have taught him how to surf fishing, I come to understand fully that the enjoyment of surf fishing is much more than regular fishing on a lake. Because I'm too ashamed to borrow his book for a long time, I decided to surf the Internet and buy my own surf fishing book guide. Now, I have the book and I have been learning a lot from it in my own spare time. This year, I'm now planning to take my family on a vacation by the beach and I will proudly show to them the surf fishing techniques that I've learned from this book.

If you are fond of fishing and haven't tried surf fishing yet, it's highly recommendable that you should try it. You will really get a kick out of surf fishing and don't forget to buy this book online. If you're already been surf fishing and yet has gotten minimal results, buy this book and you will never regret investing on it.
