The sport of fly fishing has been around for years and years. In medieval times, anglers fished for food, but the sport has evolved over the years to become a real test of skills. Anyone who has become involved in the sport of fly fishing knows how addictive in can be – but in a very good way!

Fly fishing is markedly different from regular fishing. With plain fishing, you use lures and often live bait to bring fish to your line and hook them. When you are fly fishing, you use a fly that resembles a real insect that the fish feed on naturally. The line is longer and you mimic the movement of the fly or insect on top of the water so that the fish thinks they are biting at a real insect.

Fly Rod Game Fish

Fly fishing is the most fun of any kind of angling-if it works. That’s because fly casting in itself is good sport. Like golf or tennis, fly casting is interesting and enjoyable. Floating a fly skillfully over a feeding trout in a wild mountain stream is fun even if you don’t catch fish. Working a streamer fly into just the right position along a rock ledge in a bass stream is good sport even if the bass aren’t feeding much that day. And delicately laying a bass bug just to the edge of overhanging bushes on the shore of a bass lake is something that will give any sportsman a kick. BUT-I like to catch fish, too. So do you.
