Fly Fishing: Definition
Fly Fishing is a method of fishing that utilizes an artificial fly, a long flexible rod, a reel, and line.
Fly fishing is an ancient and distinct angling method, developed primarily for salmonids (trout and salmon, mostly) and now extended to other species such as pike, bass, and carp, as well as a wide range of marine species. Artificial flies are constructed and “tied” onto a hook with thread, fur, feathers and other materials in sizes and colours to match naturally occurring food or simply to excite a fish.
