Fly fishing is a method of angling in which fish are caught using an artificial “fly” cast with a weighted line and specialized rod, emphasizing precision, timing, and the controlled imitation of insect life. Beyond its technical demands—casting mechanics, reading currents, and matching local hatches—fly fishing has developed a distinct cultural tradition in which skill is framed as attentiveness to ecology and restraint toward the natural world.
