fly fishing
Trout stream pursuit
Fly fishing is a method of angling that uses an artificial lure called a fly—a lightweight imitation of an insect or small creature made from feathers, thread, and other materials.
The technique requires specialized casting to propel the nearly weightless fly using the weight of the line itself.
Fly fishing is associated with trout and salmon in rivers and streams, though it extends to other species and waters: He spent the summer fly fishing in Montana.
