Why JOURNALS are a Key to Fly Fishing Success
What if you exactly knew where and when to fish on a routine basis? JOURNALS are the key to documenting your most important fly fishing data.
At first, keeping a fly fishing journal seemed like kind of an odd thing to do. Wouldn't someone just be able to remember what they were using, or the highlights of a trip, without having to look back through their diaries?
I found out quickly that journals were the answer when it came to narrowing down WHEN and WHERE to go, and began immediately shortening the amount of time I was spending planning each fishing trip.
Some important things to journal:
- Date/Location
- Water Temp
- Water Level
- Barometer
- Hatch
- Productive Flies/Techniques
- Unproductive Flies/Techniques
- Fish Hooked/Landed/Released
- Key Takeaways
While we're here, I'm super excited to share the digital journal template I've been using since I lost a portion of my physical journals during a move in 2019! For the price of a nice cup of coffee, you can download The Fly Fishing Journal and have access to a digital journal which you a) can't lose and b) will never have to replace!
