Fly Fishing On The Rise

Whether on shore, wading in creeks or rivers, or on a kayak, fly fishing is the ultimate test of using a rod. After you are  able to manually cast, set the hook, and maintain consistent drag on a fly rod, using other rods, such as spincast, baitcast, or spinning, will be much easier. This weekend, I entered the lakes and river with a fly rod, eliminating the use of a non-fly rod. The species that a fly rod is able to catch surpasses that of other non-fly rod, as the lures used can vary from small flies to dragonfly-sized popper. From bluegills to trout to bass to whitefish, topwater fly fishing has introduced me to a whole new level of fishing and contagious action.
