Top Fly Fishing Websites

Phillip Chan
Field and Stream Online
Field and Stream Online, while not just a fly fishing website, is a wonderful website for all things fishing and offers quite a bit of info just about fly fishing. Better known for their long-running print magazine, they also offer a e-zine version (subscription required), plus a healthy blog with daily updates from the world of fish and game. They often highlight the latest issues in conservation and wildlife management, something all anglers need to be aware of.

Rough Fisher
Rough Fisher is a blog based around an angler who hunts carp, suckers and other "rough fish" with a fly rod. He has a great blog and updates it frequently with patterns, news, and trophy catches from his North-central fishing area in the United States. Now, fly anglers often turn up their noses at carp and other rough fish, preferring instead the challenge of catching trout, steelhead, salmon and other "bluewater" fish. However, more and more fly fishermen are getting into "brownlining", that is, the pursuit of rough fish on the fly, specifically carp. Carp are found in most bodies of water in the United States, fight hard, and are a challenge to seduce with a fly, making them an excellent target for avid fly anglers. Read the frequent updates on Rough Fisher for some great tips to catching carp and suckers on the fly.

Local Fly Fishing Forums
Your local fishing forum is often a motherload of information for lakes, ponds and streams in your location. Simply do a Google search for fishing forums dedicated to your state (for example, search for"California Fishing Forums"), register (almost always free), and start discussing fly fishing with others in your part of the United States. Take full advantage of the search engine built into these forums and look up topics posted about your favorite places to fish. It's really amazing how much you can learn from local fishing forums!
