fly fishing

Fly fishing is a method of fishing where an artificial lure, called a "fly," mimics natural food sources like insects. Using a specialized lightweight rod and line, anglers cast the fly with a smooth, controlled motion to place it gently on or near the water surface. The goal is to imitate the movement of insects or small aquatic creatures to attract fish, typically in rivers or streams. It emphasizes skillful casting and presentation, making it both a challenging sport and a way to enjoy nature. Fly fishing often targets species like trout, salmon, and steelhead.
