Fly Fishing
from: Rob LoreHistorically fly fishing is an ancient method of catching fish that originated in Scotland and Northern Europe. Fly fishing is a form of fishing that uses a different method of catching fish. The fly fishing method is referred to as angling. Fly fishing is used to target mostly trout and salmon. Recently the target list for fly fishing has extended to fish like bass, pike and carp.
There are many and various types of fishing flies being used in fly fishing. In modern fly fishing methods, there are various types of fish being used to catch the designated target. Following is a list of types of fish:
*dry fishing flies and emergers - midges or stoneflies
*nymphs - mayflies or eggs and worms
*streamers wet fishing flies - buggers and leeches
*saltwater fishing flies - sailfish and marlin
*bass and panfish fishing flies - crawfish and eels
*salmon and steelhead fishing flies - Atlantic salmon flies
Certain fly fishing gear is needed when fly fishing.
The first item on the list of fly fishing gear is fly fishing rods. The size and usage of fly fishing rods is important. It is important to match the fly fishing rods with the fly fishing line according to weight. Matching the weight of the two items is important to have positive casting results. The size of the fly fly fishing rods can be anywhere from #0, #1, #2 and are used for the lightest trout and panfish. Fly fishing rods up to powerful and heavy #16 are used for the largest saltwater game fish.
Another item used for fly fishing is a bamboo split cane. A bamboo split cane allows for a better performance in the freshwater trout fishing situations. Synthetic fly fishing rods are usually used and offer a greater versatility, stiffness, power and performance than a bamboo split cane. The advantages are that synthetic fly fishing rods are less expensive and require less maintenance.
Finally, fly fishing reels are manually operated. Although in recent years, more advanced models have been developed to deal with bigger fish and more demanding situations. These models of fly fishing reels increase the drag and retrieval performance.
Fly fishing is an ancient method of catching fish. Fly fishing is more demanding because you are limited to the types of fish you can catch. You need the appropriate fly fishing gear to catch trout or the salmon. Modern fly fishing techniques have been developed to meet more challenging situations, such as bigger weight of the fish. Modern advancements prepare the fly fisherman to successfully meet his quota by using the methodology appropriately.
There are many popular locations for fly fishing, mostly in the Northern United States and Canada. Some places in the United States are Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Montana and California. Alaska is another popular place for fly fishing.
