Fly fishing for cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
If you are interested in catching a big tarpon, fly fishing is the way to go. Tarpon are a different species than your average saltwater fish, so you need to know what to look at when choosing a fly-fishing pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.
