1. fly-fishing

   Fly fishing is an angling method that uses a light-weight lure—called an artificial fly—to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. The light weight requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. The flies may resemble natural invertebrates, bait-fish, or other food organisms. Fly fishing can be done in fresh or saltwater. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (trout, salmon) and warm-water species, notably bass. In Britain, where natural water temperatures vary less, the distinction is between game fishing for trout and salmon versus coarse fishing for other species. Techniques for fly fishing differ with habitat (lakes and ponds, small streams, large rivers, bays and estuaries, and open ocean.) Author Izaak Walton called fly fishing "The Contemplative Man's Recreation".

1. fly-fishing

   Fly-fishing is a specific method of angling or fishing that relies on using an artificial 'fly' as a lure to catch fish. It requires specialized equipment such as a fly rod, fly line, and the artificial 'fly' composed of a hook covered in feathers, fabric, or foam. Its main goal often involves casting out the line in a way that mimics naturally occurring food for the fish, leading to a strike and catch. Fly-fishing can be done in both saltwater and freshwater environments and is often used to catch specific species such as trout, salmon, and bass.
