3 Hour Fly Fishing Class
Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Trip Type: Hiking & Camping
Duration: 3 hours
Fly fishing is half sport and half art. Fly fishing is an angling method in which an artificial "Fly" is used to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. Casting a nearly weightless fly or "Lure" requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. Fly fishermen use hand tied flies that resemble natural invertebrates, bait fish, other food organisms, or "Lures" to provoke the fish to bite.
Fly fishing can be done in fresh or salt water. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (trout, salmon, steelhead) and warm-water species, notably bass.

Author Izaak Walton called fly fishing "The Contemplative Man's Recreation."
Fly fishing is most renowned as a method for catching trout, grayling and salmon, but it is also used for a wide variety of species. Many fly anglers catch unintended species such as chub, bream and rudd while fishing for 'main target' species such as trout. A growing population of anglers attempt to catch as many different species as possible with the fly. With the advancement of technology and development of stronger rods and reels, larger predatory saltwater species such as wahoo, tuna, marlin and sharks have become target species on fly. Realistically any fish can be targeted and captured on fly as long as the main food source is effectively replicated by the fly itself and suitable gear is used.
