Peter Kutzer of the ORVIS Fly Fishing School in Manchester Vermont is back to help you set the hook and fight your first fish. Peter shows you the differences between fishing for trout and other small fish and when you’re stripping a fly for saltwater species or freshwater big game.

The way you set the hook makes a huge difference in your success rate, so knowing the correct motion for a given situation is important. Many a flats angler has been ridiculed by his guide for losing a fish to a \»trout set.\»

Next, he moves on to fish-fighting technique. Although the classic fly-fishing pose involves the rod tip held high above the angler’s head, this is actually an inefficient use of the fly rod’s power. Instead of fighting a fish off the tip of the rod, you want to bend the butt section. Phil Monahan joins Pete to use the scale on a BogaGrip to demonstrate how much more force you can generate by fighting \»off the butt section.\»
