Artificial 'flies' are used by anglers when fly fishing, to catch fish. Flies are also described as 'tackle' which means 'apparatus for fishing' and this term has been around since 1398 AD.
Fly fishermen use hand tied flies which they keep in special fly boxes for protection, as they are fragile and can be expensive to replace.

The flies resemble actual flies or 'lures' and are designed to entice the fish to bite on the fly. This is why there are multi-coloured flies, of various shapes, sizes and designs.

Once the fly or 'lure' is attached to the special weighted line, it is
cast into the water using a fly rod and reel. This requires special
skills and techniques that are different from other forms of casting.
Fly fishing can take place in fresh or salt water. You do however, need to decide what type of fly fishing you wish to do and then learn about the flies that can help you catch your fish.
If you just play it by ear, you could be fishing for a very long time before you catch anything.
In Britain, where there is less variation in water temperature, fly fishing is differentiated as 'game fishing' for trout and salmon and 'coarse fishing' for other species.
Fly fishing in different habitats means that the fly hooks used will vary, depending on the kind of fish you wish to catch.
Freshwater fly fishing doesn't have to be complicated though, so if you're a beginner there's no need to buy an over sized fly box and stuff it full of flies.
