What fish can be caught using insect imitations while fly fishing?
I am going fly Fishing tomorrow and i want to know which of these fish can be caught on my flies i think they are only insect imitations in the lake there will be: Perch, Pike, Walleye, which if not all could be caught on insect imitations.
generally trout, bluegill, crappie and sometimes bass. You can conceivably catch almost any fish on an insect imitation but that is more of a fluke than anything.

What will i need to start fishing and sail across the channel?
Im really into fishing and have been into course fishing for a while. i would like to get into sea Fishing and buy a boat but i just want to know about the skills i will need to get out in the sea and across the channel and what kind of boat i would need. Will i need some form of training to sail the boat?
For starter remember that the English channel is one of the busiest water ways in the world1
its no place for a novice to poodle around on!
First decide on what type of boat And just to add joy and pleasure to your life good boats don’t come cheap nor the maintenance of same plus fuel costs are still very high then there is the insurance costs!
plus joy of joys mariner charges.
They charge high prices as well.
Then there is the cost of getting qualifications so you can navigate European waters.
Skills you need to learn how to navigate and not just to rely on Navsat which costs big money if you wish to get something more than just a toy !
Then there is basic marine mechanics so if you have a motor vessel you don’t break down and loose you boat because if another vessel gets a tow line aboard to give you a tow they can claim salvage rights!

What are some tips for summer bass fishing?
I have a good lake near my house and spring and fall fishing are good on shore lines but i don’t know how to fish for them in deeper water during the summer months. Any things to look for? What baits to use? How to fish them? Anything!
Well during the summer bass tend to feed on the surface so anything lightweight (non sinking or low sinking) will do. for bait.. well you got me there I only know lures (bass Fishing is more based around lures than bait) but you can catch em with live and dead bait for top-water mid depth I suggest….
1 Popper & frog lure These work great around cover (like lillypads) very effective to draw bass to the surface since its summer I suggest using natural color lures there aren’t many overcast days in the summer ( natural colors such as brown, moss green, sandy, gray) any color dull and natural looking
2 suspending jerk-bait or minnow. these work well for shallow-mid depth water it is used to imitate injured bait-fish (small fish that bass usually eat)
3 buzz bait (like a spinner bait but its designed for surface) the blade churns water on the surface therefore making a light sound attracting bass
4 pencil bait works great with the dog walk move (simply twitch the line a bit while slowly reeling)
5 shallow diving crank (with internal rattle) will attract (or annoy bass) into biting at a mid water level
6 Noisy bait is a top-water lure that wobbles during a slow and steady retrieve it works very well in low light conditions (such as shady spots or overcast days)
7 swisher (also known as prop bait) have a propeller at either (or both) ends to effectively use this lure try choppy twitches for more effective noise (from the propellers)
8 minnows (deep diving for deep water) over 30 ft
9 spinner-baits (to attract bass with sound.
10 Straight tail worm works good with an unweighted rig ( for inactive bass its slow sinking with this type of rig) twitch the worm lightly with gentle movements and the bait will do the rest.. the split shot and jig-head also work great for deeper water
By the way with bass try aiming for structures like trees lillypads and leafy vegetation (these give them both hiding spots and cover for their light sensitive eyes) they will most likely be in these areas so try that out first
Also for deep water (since bass usually go deep down the lake for cooler temps during intense heat) when its too hot (say 87 degrees or more) they will go to the bottom of the lake for less heat they will also be prone to resorting to even more shady spots for this weather try using…
Rubber jig works great during these times
Metal jig is great for deep water and if you know how to use it you can sort of slowly reel and tug a bit in the deep water this will emit a clanking sound in the water and will attract bass
also with a jig head rig attached all the soft worm lures work very effectively at this time such as the caterpillar, grub, tube (the one with the hollow skirt), straightail, and paddle tail. similar soft baits that can use this rig are the crawdad and the lizard
Deep diving minnows work very well too
Deep diving crank baits work great (the ones with the internal rattle)
In summertime when its not TOO hot then top water lures are the way to go because in this time bass tend to surface feed its just that when its too hot they go bottom but they still may work but they will have to be able to see it lures such as…
Floating jerk bait. this lure imitates an injured bait fish struggling on surface water. use jerky movements with this one..
shallow diving crank bait. the buit in rattle will attract the bass efficiently and you wont have to do anything but reel in!
buzz bait. this lure is very similar to the spinner bait the only difference is its meant for surface not for middle or deep water. it churns surface water making an appealing sound to the bass
also the lip-less crank bait is great for fluttering near weed beds
stick bait. is used to draw bass to surface as well just slightly tug rod tip left to right while retrieving and you will get an attractive summertime lure!
prop baits. resemble feeding bait fish and will emit a loud gurgle. to achieve this make sure to twitch the lure quickly
noisy bait. sometimes resembling a ladybug or a small whale will wobble during steady reeling. remember reel in constantly and no jerking also a constant normal speed!
Popper. my favorite lure use this near lillypads for best efficiency when slightly jerked to the left the cup shaped face will emit a splash sound that bass go crazy for!
frog lure. use in steady retrieve near weed beds and lillypads
Also a last bait with a great rep
The big swim bait: it will snk until you reel. its designed to catch huge trophy bass. it achieved this through its natural movement and wobbling
Hope this helped!
EDIT: To ole fisherman
Have you heard of the Rapala countdown? I hear its very effective with king & silver salmon. though I’m not entirely sure this is true . as for the fire-tiger color.. I hear that for stripers it’s a near sure bite!
