Why Fly Fish?
Fly fishing is a sport enjoyed by millions of anglers worldwide. There are several different reasons - all valid - for choosing a fly rod over conventional tackle.

A Fly Rod is the Right Tool For The Job
Fishing rods and reels are tools to help you catch fish. Picking the right tool will help you perform your chosen task more effectively. You can drive a nail with a pipe wrench but a hammer is much more effective. In some situations, a fly rod is simply the best tool for the job.

In fly fishing, the fly rod casts a weighted line that pulls a virtually weightless leader and fly behind it. Casting such a light fly - an artificial lure that looks like an aquatic insect - is impossible with conventional fishing rods. A fly rod is a superior tool when casting extremely small offerings, such as flies.

Fly Fishing is Challenging
Fly rods come in an amazing range of size - called weights - that allow the angler to scale up or down their tackle to match the size of the quarry. A small sunfish caught on conventional bass gear isn't a very thrilling catch; however, substitute a light fly rod into the scene and the fun factor goes off the chart.

Fly Fishing as Something New
Fishermen who use conventional tackle discover that fly fishing is enjoyable because it is something new to learn about. New tackle, terminology, and techniques broaden your angling education.

Fly Fishing is Pleasurable
There is no limit to where you can fly fish - rivers, streams, oceans, bays, and lakes. Painted with a broad brush, these areas are majestic and inspire the senses. Even a fishless day leaves one dazzled by Nature's beauty. When you get to this stage in your angleing career you readily connect with Norman Maclean's closing words of A River Runs Through It "I am haunted by waters".
