Fly fishing is a unique and immersive angling method where an artificial fly is used to catch fish. Unlike traditional fishing, which often utilizes live bait or lures, fly fishing employs a lightweight artificial fly made from materials such as feathers, fur, and synthetic materials to mimic various insects or prey. The technique involves casting these delicate flies using a specialized weighted line and a flexible fishing rod.
