Fly fishing? Who would, in their right mind, would want to try to catch flies with a fishing pole? What do you do once you catch them? Be mean and squash them? Secretly feed them to your little brother by putting them in his peanut butter and jelly sandwich during lunch time? Oh, wait a second. Remember the lawyer thing? You did not get that idea from us…..got it?
No, we’re not talking about catching flies with fishing line and a pole. We’re pretty sure only highly-trained ‘’zen-like’’ monks can do this that live in a Temple in the Himalayas. We’re talking about using an artificial fly, attached to a special type of fishing line, from a special type of reel, attached to a special type of pole. So, get the idea? Feeling special? If you’d like to learn about what you need and what it takes to become a fly-fisherman than by all means, read on.
What it is: fly fishing is a special type of fishing that when some kind of mastery is achieved it can be greatly satisfying to do. Check out this to get a better idea of what fly fishing is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MxWkddlw3A.
And if you like country music, well you’ll even like this video that much more!
Here’s something to check out that doesn’t involve country music, actually a little classical music.This is a very good video of kids fly fishing with their father and mother. Pay close attention to what their father says about casting their line into a moving river.Fly fishing is different because you have to learn how to cast, most often, into moving water and know how to drift the artificial fly at the end of your line just right to feeding fish. These fish are mostly trout. Trout are one of the most beautiful fish species on the planet. There is nothing like catching your first rainbow trout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2aA-d5RPOI
