Flyfishing: First Cast to First Fish.
".....caught on a fly!"
The words conjure up
images of pristine lakes, pure air, sparkling mountain streams
and the excitement of catching your first fish on a fly. The skilled angler artfully
manipulates the line through the air with grace and form, delicately placing the fly
in a predetermined location in full expectation of a "strike." Suddenly, you mind
races...fish on!
Put yourself in that picture!
Fly fishing engages the mind and captures the spirit.
No other sport is as pure or as satisfying. It is without a doubt the most gratifying, exciting, captivating form of
fishing. Fly fishing is challenging yet relaxing. It is stimulating and yet can often be tranquil.....it is an intoxicating obsession.
Virtually all species of fish can be taken on a fly. Trout, steelhead, smallmouth bass,
largemouth bass, striped bass, salmon, walleye, blue gill, crappie, you name it, all come readily to a well-placed fly. Rivers, lakes, creeks,
brooks, farm ponds, bays, streams and the ocean offer infinite possibilities for you to catch every species of fish imaginable.
Why else would I want to fish with a fly??
In today's world of increasing pressures on our fisheries, conservation is a legitimate
concern. Fish caught on a fly can be released unharmed much more easily than with either
lures or bait. The challenge of presenting an artificial, tied to represent a natural, is a more sporting method of fishing
and also offers a greater degree of satisfaction.
Fly-fishing means fishing with a
virtually weightless fly without the encumbrance of a
heavy lure or sinker; the fight is directly between you and the fish! The excitement,
visual reward and enormous satisfaction of actually seeing a fish move to and strike
your fly is an experience that will need no further explanation after the first time
that it happens. The lightweight tackle, the beauty and esthetics of the equipment
and the delicacy of a handmade fly all add to the grace, timelessness and pleasure of
this fascinating sport.
Fly-fishing is fun!
