what is fly fishing and whats not.?

Post by joco »

there is a good article on this in the angler lates edition.

what is fly fishing and what is not fly fishing.

this is hard to no whats it or not.

do you realy have to be wit a fly rod..?

fly line..?

a fly...?

wathever.


wen you see tenkara style..they do use some flies...but no fly rod...but this is how its start centuries ago.

so if you use a flie on a reg rod..can you call it fly fishing.?

if you look at purist that use bamboo rod and horse hair for fly fishing that is the start of it all...they would sayd that big orvis rod and that special fly line and that carbon make poper is not fly fishing.

so what is or not fly fishing.????

Joco,

Try throwing one of those big popper flies with spin tackle and see how far it doesn't go. :wink:
Time's fun when you're having flies.
