I have been fishing many times, but not fly fishing, which is fishing with an artificial fly used to catch the fish.
I didn't know it was an artificial fly! I have never been fishing but I learned about fly fishing in a movie.
Using a nearly weightless fly requires completely different casting techniques that other forms of fishing - it seems so much more active than other forms.
So does that mean that it is much harder and requires a lot of skill? Maybe even more patience?
I think that definitely making the flies requires a lot of skill and practice - they are hand tied and resemble natural invertebrates, baitfish, and yep, even flies.
That's so crazy I did not know any of that. Can that work with any fish types?
Not all, but many - coldwater species like trout, salmon, and steelhead - and then warm water species like bass.
