Buy the best fly fishing accessory for under $10. It will increase your fishing landing ability drastically. All of your buddies will wonder what you are doing that is different than they do. It's called a, drum roll please -

Hook file. Then learn how to use it. When you do get bites, you will be able to capitalize on them. Wear drab colors and don't talk loudly around your fishing areas. Don't cast shadows over your fishing spots. There are lots of good tips to try and it probably isn't just one thing.

A great investment is to hire a locally successful guide. Many people try to buy this new rod or that new line to increase their catch. Instead of a new outfit, new knowledge is a fantastic tool. They will not only show you some new spots to fish, but the techniques that are hands on is worth the money alone. Have fun with your fishing, and guess what, all the fish don't know that they are suppose to bite when X+Y is presented. They don't all read the same fly fishing magazines.

Sometimes, it's just tough on the water. Keep trying and you will be successful.
