Fly
LegendaryAdvancedFresh & salt
An artificial insect or baitfish imitation tied from feather, fur, and thread on a hook, cast using a fly rod's weighted line rather than the lure's own weight. The foundational category of fly fishing — everything from a dry fly to a streamer is a variation on this idea.

Technique tips
- Match the size and silhouette of what's actually hatching or swimming nearby — exact color matters less than profile.
- Let the fly line do the casting work, not your arm — a smooth back-and-forward rhythm loads the rod properly.
- Read the water first — seams, foam lines, and current breaks hold far more fish than open, featureless flow.
