The Joy of Fly Fishing

It is often said that fly fishing is not just about catching fish but enjoying the experience. Fly Fishing may be the only method of fishing that can capture your spirit and your soul and can give you a hobby and passion for life.

Fly Fishing can take many forms: fishing tiny dry flies to rising trout in clear mountain streams, salt water casting with large flies, throwing bass bugs in your local pond, wading into a major river in the Northwest for salmon fishing, or teaching your children to catch their first sunfish on the fly.

Hooking a trout on dry fly is one of the best experiences available for a fly fisherman. Just as there are many forms of fishing there are also many fishing experiences that appeal to anglers. The fact that most fish can be caught and released back to the wild make it suitable for those who want to do as little damage as possible to the fish. This catch and release philosophy has gained great acceptance in the fishing community. Hopefully catch and release fishing will continue to grow. While few things are tastier then a fresh trout cooked over an open campfire on the river, keeping fish should be the exception rather than the norm. The fact that you often "fool" the fish into hitting an artificial fly thinking it is a real natural insect has an interesting and perhaps primitive appeal, to show the superiority of man over nature's wild creatures. The need to execute a skilled cast to present your prey with just the right offering presents challenges that can vary from moderate to extreme. The sudden charge of the fish from the depths can give you with a sudden adrenaline rush and a sense of accomplishment. The rhythmic movements of fly casting itself can have a calming and almost hypnotic effect on the fly angler.

The beauty of trout fishing can often be very obvious. These handsome fish are often located in some of nature's most scenic locations. You may not care that the fish are not biting as you enjoy the fact that you are surrounded by clear flowing water, unique rock formations, lush green forests, unique mountain peaks, towering waterfalls or clear crystal blue skies.

Another interesting aspect of fly angling is its comprehensive literary appeal. Since its very beginning fly fishing has inspired writers to put words on paper. Of course there are a large number of "How To" type books and magazines but mainly I am referring to other writings (both fiction and non-fiction) that can focus around fishing or just include a portion of setting of the story. A visit to your local bookstore will show you this.

No matter if you're wading for bonefish, catching brook trout on dry flies or hooking largemouth bass on surface poppers, you can have many great experiences with your fly rod in your hand. Weather you take your fishing adventures to Alaska, Argentina, or just the local stream, it is a fun and challenging world with a lot to offer. Enjoy!

Can anybody help me identify a very large fly?

Many years ago I had an encounter with a very large fly. As I recall it was over an inch long, large blue eyes and body, and blue tinted transparent wings. It was sitting on any air conditioning compressor and it scared the daylights out of me! I have never seen such a fly since! I saw it when I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Probably a horse fly. I call them B-52s. They make the horses crazy.
