Fly Fishing

Fly-fishing is a completely different way to fish. The difference between fly-fishing and normal fishing is that in fly-fishing you are using a bait that is almost weightless. To compensate for this, the line of the fly-fishing rod is heavy. It’s usually coated with plastic or wax to add weight. Instead of using the lures weight to cast out the line you use the lines weight. 

     The baits that you use for fly-fishing are usually artificial flies or other invertebrates made out of feathers or plastic. There is a specific way you have to cast using a fly fishing rod. The best way to cast out your bait is to you use the forward motion technique. To do this, you have to throw the bat behind your shoulder and then let out some line. Then you sling the line forward from over your shoulder. Let the bait flow down the river until you get a hit.
