Art of Fly Fishing

There are six main elements of fly fishing; a fly rod (usually around 9 feet long), a fly reel (a round shaped real with a 1:1 relative ratio), a fly line (around 90 feet long), fly lining backing (fills up the reel and is spare line in case the fish takes a long run), a tippet to tie to the front end of the fly line so it does not scare the fish (around 9 feet of clear line), …

…lay flat on the ground. (Be careful not to hook yourself or others nearby.) You will soon find yourself performing trick casts around trees and mangroves. Remember the right way to fly fish is what ever way works. Fly-fishing is as a practice of modification. Most importantly remember to have fun, if you are not catching anything don’t get frustrated, grab a book or a bite to eat and enjoy life and the outdoors!
