Stay Safe and Out of Prison With This Beginner Fly Fishing Lesson
As a beginner, fly fishing can be a daunting experience with all the techniques you need to learn. But this one Fly Fishing Lesson all beginners should memorize before hitting the water. It will not only let you and other anglers around you enjoy the experience it will help keep you safe and out of prison.
Safe you say? Well everyone has heard of road rage, when you cut someone off at an intersection and they then follow you for 20 blocks just so that they can get out of their car and assault you. Well there are also a lot of hardcore anglers out there that actually get “River Rage”. There have been such extremes where one angler in a boat drift fishing down a slow river accidentally passed over another anglers pool he was fishing. That angler was some enraged over the incident he pulled a hand gun on the drift fisher.
To avoid “River Rage” and other such incidents all it takes is a bit of common sense. If you spot someone in or on the bank of the river then the first in first serve rule applies to that stretch of water. You wait until they have moved on. If you believe there is plenty of room for a second angler in that area then ask permission and accept their decision. This also goes for non-anglers on the bank. Remember as a Fly Fishing Angler your back cast can actually go a great distance onto the bank so you need to make sure that is clear also.
So now we know how to keep safe from “River Rage” how about we stay out of prison.
In many countries fishing freshwater actually requires a permit or license to be able to fish their waters. But there are also a lot of regulations that a specific to certain rivers, areas or states. Like what species your allowed to take out of the river, how many and on what method. You will find that some waters are only allowed to be fishing by fly where others are only by spin casting. It’s your responsibility to learn the regulations for your area and learn them well. In New Zealand not only can they slap you with a massive fine and confiscate not only your fishing gear but also the vehicle you used for transport to the water. In some extreme cases of anglers breaking the local regulations has resulted in prison time.
Let’s stay safe and out of prison just by a little common sense and spending five minutes learning your local fishing regulations while enjoying this immensely rewarding sport.
