The Mystery of Peter Answers

Check out this great guide on Fly Fishing Secrets Revealed!

Fly Fishing is the art of using artificial flies, fly rod and fly line to catch a wide variety of fish, but usually trout or salmon. Peter Answers is useful when you want to know the answer to life’s mysteries, such as “Will I Go Fly Fishing This Year?”

In order to answer this question for yourself you should do some research on fly fishing and be prepared to understand that this is a sport than can be expensive and frustrating! But it can also be very rewarding, as anyone asking the question probably understands.

Take a look at these key areas to determine if you will be going fly fishing this year:

What Do You Want to Fish For?

Trout and salmon are the most popular species to fish for using the fly fishing technique but that certainly doesn’t mean you can only fish for them. In the book 50 Fish to Catch before You Die there are a number of great species identified including exotic ones such as mackerel, carp, tuna and even shark! Before the question can be answered you need to make the decision as to what you want to catch as that will define where you need to go and how much money you need to spend.

Where Do You Want to Visit?

Now that you know what kind of fish you want to catch you have to decide where you want to go. Of course this depend greatly on where you live, assuming you don’t want to travel too far. If you are looking for exotic places to fly fish I recommend reading Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die. Otherwise, recognize that pretty much any stream near your house can be fished using the fly fishing technique. I myself have caught crappies and sunfish using fly fishing, and if you use light tackle it can be very fun to even catch these small fish.

How Much Money Can You Afford to Spend?

As you can see from reading Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die it can be expensive to fly fish if you are going to do exotic fishing like fishing for Atlantic salmon at Laxa I Adaldal in Iceland, catching snook off Boca Paila in the Yucatan, fishing on the Ponoi River in Mongolia for taimen or fishing brown trout on the River Test in Stockbridge, England. Do you have the money for such a lifetime adventure? Then go for it! Otherwise, if you can’t afford that, then consider the local stream or even lake where you can fish from the shore or wade in as needed.

Well? Did looking at it that way still make you want to ask the question of whether or not you will be going fly fishing? If you still want to then I feel very strongly that you will indeed make it happen this year. Good luck on the river!

And that is Peter’s Answer!
