Fly fishing is an angling method in which an artificial “fly” is used to catch fish.

The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. Casting a nearly weightless fly or “lure” requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting.

Fly fishermen use hand tied flies that resemble natural invertebrates or other food organisms, or “lures” to provoke the fish to strike.

Fly fishing can be done in fresh or salt water.

Techniques for fly fishing also differ with habitat (lakes and ponds, small streams, large rivers, bays and estuary’s, and open ocean.)
