fly casting

Trout stream skill

Fly casting is a fishing technique where the angler whips a weighted line through the air to deliver an artificial fly to the water.

Unlike conventional casting, which uses the weight of the lure, fly casting relies on the line's momentum.

The distinctive back-and-forth motion requires timing and practice: She spent hours perfecting her fly casting on the river.
