Waders
- high topped waterproof boots; two main types used in
fishing: boot foot and stocking foot; boot foot have boots
built in - stocking foot requires the use of a pair of
wading shoes
Wading Shoes - shoes built specifically to be worn
over stocking foot waders
Water - a must have for fish
Weight Forward (WF) - an easy casting fly line
because it carries most of its weight in the forward section
of the line, instead of a level middle section, like a
double taper, it quickly tapers down to a fine diameter
running line which shoots through the guides with less
resistance for added distance, >>the most versatile
fly line
Wet Fly - any fly fished below the surface of the
water; nymphs and streamers are wet flies also a traditional
style of fly tied with soft, swept back hackle, and a
backward sweeping wing
Wet Fly Swing - typical presentation method for
fishing a wet fly. Cast the fly downstream and across,
and then swim it across the current. Commonly used to
imitate swimming mayflies, emerging caddis, and small
fish and in nymph fishing
Whistler fly - These are used after dark, in deep
water, or where visibility is not very good, dirty water.
The large bead-chain eyes and the bulky dressing, create
underwater vibration. The bead-chain eyes make the fly
dip every time the angler pauses on the retrieve
Wind Knot - an overhand knot put in the leader
by poor casting, destroys the breaking strength of the
leader
Windward - The direction the wind is blowing
Whip Finish - knot used to tie off the thread when
finishing a fly
Work - some thing we must do to go fishing |
