Fly fishing, while very popular all over the world today, is thought to date all the way back to the end of the second century. It was first recorded by Claudius Aelianus, who was describing the fishing techniques of the Macedonian anglers who were fishing on the Astraeus River. The sport has evolved and what we now know as fly fishing is thought to have gotten its start in Scotland and northern England.

In 1496, Dame Juliana Berners published a book called The Boke of St. Albans which included The Treatyse on Fysshynge with an Angle. This book contained instructions on the fishing rod, fishing line and how to make hooks. It also included information on the different types of flies that were to be used during the various times of the year.

Fly fishing continued to be developed in Britain in the nineteenth century, which is when fly fishing clubs and a variety of books on the sport began to appear. The sport started to get a reputation for being elitist in southern England and was thought by the well-to-do to be the only acceptable fishing throughout Surrey, Berkshire, Dorset and Hampshire. It is thought that fly fishing became such a necessity in this area because of the river weeds that grew so close to the surface that people were forced to figure out new ways to keep the line and the fly on the surface of the water. The techniques that were developed in the nineteenth century became the basis upon which all of the later developments in “dry fly” were made.

Traditionally fly fishing lines were made of horse hair but it wasn’t long before the horse hair lines were replaced by silk because it was weighty enough to get cast in the newer styles that had developed. Over time, longer rods became the style and the silk lines allowed fishermen to let the wind to the majority of the work of carrying the fly to the water.

In the United States fly fishing was not even close to being as refined a sport as it had become in Britain. American rod designers started using bamboo to make the fishing rods and the British fly reels were also “improved” upon. In America the fly reels were made to be simpler and contained a space in which backing and fly line could be stored. Many of the modern reels still use the simpler design.

Trout is the most popular target for fly fishers. In fact, most of the fly fishing techniques were developed to catch trout.

Fly fishing can be done both in the water and on dry land. It can be done in a variety of water temperatures.

Fly fishing is a very popular sport all over the world now. It is not uncommon for people to go on holiday just to do some fly fishing. There are many popular places to go fly fishing and a great variety of information has been written about the sport.

Fly fishing line is typically heavier which makes it easier to cast than other fishing line.

The attractive flies are used to prompt instinctive strikes by not looking like natural prey and instead environmental intruders. Flies that are imitative are flies that are made to look like the fish’s natural food.
