new to fly fishing, what to use, where to fish?
hello everybody, wondering on the net and found this site. great site. but i just started fly fishing for about 3 weeks now, maybe fly fish twice a week. im really liking it it's really fun. but here is where im stuck, what fly do i use and where to use the fly? i'v been watching youtube and they said nymphs are for where shallow and rocky waters is at. dry for slow waters and such. but is that true, and what kind of fly works best for places in or near fresno.
and where is a good river, creek or stream to fish at near fresno if you fish at california before?
i dont really know what to really use, so i put what i think they might bite. but i seen some gulps, pull the line, nothing.....
any kind of advice will help,
still new to the sport.

Hi Fresno,
Welcome to the best fly fishing site on the internet. Lots of good information and lots of good people. Let us hear from you often. For really good local information and assistence, I would try to find a local fly shop and start hanging around there. I would purchase a couple of size #16-18 Adams parachutes, a couple of Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear Nymphs size 16 and a couple of Olive or Blacks Wooly Buggers (size #8-10). Start flinging those flies around and see when and where they work. Check your library or bookstore for some of the beginner books on fly fishing. As I said above, there lots of good information here too. Welcome to the group. Please keep us posted on you successes. 8T :)
