Fly fishing is one of the most recognized and distinct methods of catching fish or angling. There is nothing quite like casting your fly out on the water and have it explode immediately.
This method has been popularly used to catch trout and salmon but I also fly fish for smallmouth bass and chain pickerel. What a blast.
There is no limit to the species of fish you can catch fly fishing.
There is different equipment used to make the process a success. One of the most important are the artificial flies you use while fly fishing.
The fly rod and fly reel you use isn’t all that important as I have used inexpensive rods and reels for years but I do buy good fly line and leader. It really sucks to lose a good fish, even if you practice catch and release.
