There are many options for flyfishing guides in Alabama

There are many reasons to use a guide when fly fishing. Here are the most common:

  • You don’t know where to go or what to do.

  • You want to learn more about the area and its history.

  • You need help finding your way around and identifying bugs, fish, etc., that you see on your way along streams or shorelines.

  • Your spouse/friends/relatives won't shut up about how much fun it looks like it would be for you if only you tried it! (This is my personal favorite reason.)

When looking for an Alabama fly fishing guide, consider these factors:

  • Is he/she invested in making sure that every one has a good experience?

  • Does he/she have the ability to identify local fish species quickly? A lot of guides can tell you what kind of bug is hatching at any given moment—but if they don't know what kind of bird or animal could be carrying them there without fail, they're not as useful as they could be! Additionally, this skill helps him/her keep track of exactly what time certain insects will start hitting the water (and therefore when beginners should head out). It also gives him/her an advantage when it comes time for casting lessons because he knows just how far away he needs his students' flies from each other so they don't interfere with each other too much while trying out their techniques."
