Fly fishing is a popular method of angling that is primarily used for salmon and trout. Casting the nearly weightless lure requires a special fishing line, an especially long rod and a great deal of experience before you can truly enjoy the art of fly fishing. If you put in the time to become experienced with a fly fishing rod, you may get the chance to catch a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish such as northern pike, panfish, bass, carp, tarpon, bonefish, snook, redfish and more.
