Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass. It can be done in fresh or salt water. It is the most difficult method of fishing to learn but is the most accurate because it allows you to place your fly precisely where you want it. It can be considered part science and part art. Fly-fishing is more than just fishing, for some, it's a Zen moment, maybe even a spiritual experience.

This is a type of fishing that involves using an artificial fly. Dry fly fishing is done with line and flies that float. Unlike sinking fly (nymph) fishing, the "take" on dry flies is visible, explosive and exciting. Additionally, beginning fly anglers generally prefer dry fly fishing because of the relative ease of detecting a strike and the instant gratification of seeing a trout strike their fly. Nymph fishing may be more productive, but dry fly anglers soon become addicted to the surface strike.

Once a fish has been caught and landed, the fly may no longer float well. A fly can sometimes be dried and made to float again by "false" casting, casting the fly back and forth in the air. Usually, when a fish is hooked, there will be extra fly line coiled between the reel and the index finger of the rod hand. The challenge is to reel up the loose fly line onto the reel without breaking off a large fish (or getting the line wrapped up around the rod handle, one's foot, a stick or anything else in the way.

Fly fishing is gaining popularity with both men and women, it is fun, relaxing, and it's a great way for you, your family and your friends to connect with nature, this definitely a sport for the whole family. It is what you make it, so make it fun. You will find that Montana has the best fly-fishing in the world and Bighorn River is known to be the best spot in Montana. Go visit Montana, you just may stay.
