Are you asking yourself what the best times to try to schedule a fly fishing trip are? Well, when we talk about a fly fishing calendar, we are not quite referring to a printed calendar that you can hang on your wall. We are talking about targeting and specifying the right times to fish and the right places at which to fish.

The main thing you need to think about when you are considering drawing up a fly fishing calendar is: when will the water be at the right temperature? That is, the temperature that is best for catching fish. The best time to go fishing will depend on the area that you are looking at for your fly fishing trip.

In some places, such as California, the fishing is pretty good all the year round. While in other places, like Washington, you will need to avoid the water in the winter as the cold temperatures will stress the fish and they will not be as plentiful.

Generally speaking, the fly fishing calendar shows that the best fly fishing is in the spring and summer periods. Early fall will also find some places showing good fishing as well. Almanacs can be helpful to guide you towards the best fishing times and locations as can continuously updating Internet web sites that are run by keen local fishermen.

Many locations will give weekly, and sometimes even daily fishing reports on their websites. They can tell you where the fish are biting and where the best locations in the river are to cast your line. They generally keep these fields of their web sites updated fairly frequently. So you can get excellent reports just by looking at what other anglers have to say about their fishing experiences.

Usually, fish like warmer water, although, there are other species like salmon and steelhead that flourish in colder water. However, in general, warm water will attract more fish. Nevertheless, if the water is too warm, the fish will be lethargic and will swim to locations where the water is cooler.

The fly fishing calendar used most often by experienced fishermen has been compiled over a long period of time. They expend a considerable quantity of effort to estimate where and when the best fishing will take place. Then they share it with others. That is one of the best things about fly fishing - the comradeship and the sharing that can come about because of a mutual love for the sport of fly fishing.

You can compile your own fly fishing calendar with a little time and effort. Just do your homework and keep plenty of notes. When you see a trend, you will know that it is time to go fishing! Then you should be certain to help your fellow anglers by passing on the information via a local club or the Internet, if you are proficient at it, because others will be trying to figure out what you already know. You know that most fly fishermen would do the same for you, do you not?
