Light Penetration In Water Types For Fishermen for Fly Fishing or Lure Fishing

One of the most mis-understood areas in fishing is what happens to light in water. To see a colour we need that colour within the spectrum to be visible on the object we are viewing because we see colour as it is the relection of light on an object. So what is the issue? well different colours disapear at different depths according to the colour of the water and particles suspended in the water. However if we use a green and black coloured lure 5m deep in muddy waters we will see a totally black lure, however if the same lure is used at 5m deep in a green or blue coloured water we will see a green and black lure which is totally different to the same lure in muddy waters. Light Spectrum White light we see from the sun is not white but a series of colours blended together called the visible spectrum, is is part of the overall electromagnetic spectrum. The visible part of the spectrum is shown below is between 400nm and 700nm (nm is a metric unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter). Much of what we see is controlled by the [...]

Fly Fishing In Spain

Look at a map of Spain, run your finger down the western coast from Hendaye in France until you reach the Minho estuary – Portugal’s northern border with Spain. Now draw a straight line to the east and you´ll reach Lloret del Mar on the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia.  The Pyrenees make up the fourth side of the box. Let´s go fly – fishing in this magic box. What do you what to catch?  Well, you have got the following: salmon, sea trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout – in certain remote streams of northern Aragon – barbel, chub, carp, zander,  pike, gigantic Wels catfish in Mequinenza and Danube salmon down in the river Tormes.  Largemouth bass in Lake Caspe. But for today? A certain day in July. Well, think U – shaped glacial valleys from 1500 to 3000 metres above sea level. Visualize alpine meadows studded with primrose and gentian. Think rich pastures where local cattle and horse graze in summer. Think cloudless skies and midday temperatures of 25ºCelsius.  Ready? Now watch the vultures glide up and up the thermal corkscrew, You´ll see chamois and marmots. Suddenly a shadow will pass overhead; you glance up – a [...]
