I've never been fly fishing, but it always looked interesting, the difference in technique between it and regular fishing.

I love fly fishing myself, I use a special fly rod, reel, and certain kind of specialized weighted line. its fun and challenging. But you can get some massive fish with it.

Nice.  Is it actually attaching flies to the line, or is it something with the technique that makes it called Fly Fishing?
1_Wizard
Fly fishing itself is an angling method in which you do put an artificial "fly" on the end to catch fish with.

Ah.  Why do they throw the line in such an elaborate and floaty way?
1_Wizard
They do that to imitate a fly flying over the water, and trying to also imitate a injured fly so the fish are more attracted to it.

That makes sense.  What kind of fish do you usually fish for with this method?
