Fly fishing uses different casting techniques compared to traditional fishing. The angler uses a fly rod and weighted fly line to cast a lightweight artificial fly onto the water, mimicking the movement of natural prey to attract fish.

Artificial flies are designed to imitate insects, crustaceans, small fish, or other natural prey. There are two main types: dry flies that float on the water’s surface and wet flies that sink below the surface.
