Fly Fishing

Fly Fishing is a specialized technique involving an ultralight-weight, i.e. an artificial fly, which mimics flying insects to attract fish. Specific equipment is required to effectively cast and convincingly present the artificial flies to the fish. Fly rods are typically longer and more flexible than conventional fishing rods, with the selection of the rod length and weight based on the size of the target species and whether you will be pursuing freshwater or saltwater. Fly reels don't play as big of a role as in traditional fishing techniques, but they still need to be of solid construction since they must provide resistance when a fish ends up being hooked.
