fly-fishing
Trout stream sport
Fly-fishing is a method of angling that uses an artificial fly as bait.
The lightweight fly is cast using a specialized weighted line and flexible rod, with the line's momentum carrying the nearly weightless lure.
The technique requires skill in casting and is associated with trout and salmon fishing in streams and rivers: He spent his retirement fly-fishing in Montana.
