One of the most effective tools for fly fishing is video, and you can get great tips and techniques by watching a fly fishing video. These videos can be downloaded for free or you can subscribe to the Double Badger Media fly-fishing video channel to receive updates and interesting stories. Here is a brief overview of the fly fishing video channel.

Fly fishing for cobia

The most popular tackle for fishing for cobia is a fly rod or line, but a fishing lure can also be useful. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.

First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.

Fly fishing for Tarpon

Fly fishing is a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon are not like other saltwater species so it is important to know what to look out for when choosing a fly fishing pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly home.

When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.
