Fly Fishing
The species, the hatches, and the fish that built the fly rod. From cold trout streams to tropical saltwater flats.
Fly fishing is a method first and a culture second — a way of presenting an artificial insect or baitfish on a long, fine line and a quiet rod. The species in this collection are the ones anglers most commonly target with a fly: the cold-water trout of mountain rivers, the mayflies they feed on, and the saltwater game fish that draw anglers to tropical flats. Each species in this collection has shaped fly-fishing technique, gear, and tradition over the last hundred and fifty years.
