Fishing with a rod and line, and an artificial lightweight lure made to imitate fish prey — that is, fly fishing — was first recorded around the year 200. And while modern innovation has improved the quality and durability of the materials, the basics of the sport and pastime have remained largely the same.

It gives the experienced angler pinpoint accuracy while simultaneously presenting the inexperienced fish with a very realistic bit of bait. Those benefits do come at the price of practice, however. ---CONTiNUED---
