Fly Fishing

In this blog we will be talking about Fly Fishing. Its a distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, grayling and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass. This method of fishing is commonly found in British Columbia because of the Trout and Salmon (Choho) The Salmon and Trout are usually found in the Fraser River which is located in B-C. Unlike other casting methods, fly fishing can be thought of as a method of casting line rather than lure. Non-flyfishing methods rely on a lure's weight to pull line from the reel during the forward motion of a cast. By design, a fly is too light to be cast, and thus simply follows the unfurling of a properly cast fly line, which is heavier and tapered and therefore more castable than lines used in other types of fishing. This method of Fly Fishing started in the 2nd century by Claudius Aelianus. Fly Fishing is really popular today, you would use it in shallower waters and not deep lakes or rivers. You would never use a live bait, always use a fly bait. Need anymore info on Fly Fishing, comment.
