*Fly Fishing terms:

Fly Rod, Fly Line, Fly Reel, Cast, Mending Line, Strip, Stripping Your Line, Rise, Rising Rising, Strike, Set the hook, Tight Lines! Fish On!, Break Off, Landing a Fish, Bites.

There are several different types of casting, not just the fancy A River Runs Through It kind. Casting is the motion you make when you throw your line and fly on the water (very precisely!) to catch big fish..

Mending your line is very important after you have casted. You’re constantly mending, or correcting, the way your line and fly are floating in the water. Trout are very sensitive to unnatural movement.

Retrieving your line by pulling it through your fingers instead of winding it directly onto the reel. Don’t start undressing if you hear someone on the river yell, “Strip! Strip!”

Fish rising to the surface to eat. This is exciting to witness as you know the fish are active and hungry. Also known as risers.

**Gear:

Fly Rod: The most essential component of fly fishing gear which is used to secure catch. In fly fishing, a specially designed fly rod is typically made from a graphite composite, and is used to provide the rigidity and flexibility to catch fishes of various species and sizes. They are typically 7 to 9 feet in length, depending on the type which suits you best and the fishing situation.

Grip: The cork handle of a fly rod.

Reel: The large, circular component attached to the base of the fly rod which is used to hold the line and provide resistance or drag. The more expensive the reel, the more strength it provides.

Rod Flex: The amount bend your rod can withstand during your cast. There are three types of rod flexes to note: Tip-Flex rods bend through the tip section, Mid-Flex rods bend down at the middle of your rod, and Full-Flex rods bend throughout the entire rod during the cast.

Waders: Special clothing worn by fly fishers that prevents them from getting wet by descending into waist-deep water. This waterproof form of clothing come in two forms: Stocking foot waders and boot foot waders.

Polarized Sunglasses: Special sunglasses worn by anglers when fly fishing. The anti-glare glasses have iodized lenses eliminate the glare produced by the sun’s rays on the water’s service, to allow fly fishers to clearly look under the surface of the water.
