Welcome to the Flyfishing in Argentina site

Choose the correct fly

Most commercially tied flies are of a poor quality, they are often stiff and lifeless. Next time before selecting a fly make sure the fly has a lot of movement. This is often attained by using soft materials like marabou. The movement will give the fly a more natural look in the water, which is a lot more appealing to a fish than a stiff and lifeless fly. Also make sure that the fly is not overdressed. An overdressed bulky looking fly usually has very little natural movement. 

Keep in mind that you don’t need a lot of movement in all flies. As a rule of thumb flies that are fished in very fast water usually don’t need a lot of movement, seeing that the fly is moving so fast in the current all ready, and the fish wont have time to inspect it closely. If you are going to fish a fly very slowly in stillwater, movement becomes critical as it will give the fly a more natural appearance. Also remember that small tightly dressed flies sink faster than big wind/water resistant flies.
