2.  Casting is the most important part of fly fishing. Casting determine if you present the fly on the water
properly. Presenting the fly means how you cast the fly out. Different flies have different was of being
presented.
 Three basic fly fishing casts are the overhead cast, Roll cast, and the reach cast.

3.  The most important part of your gear is your fly rod and reel if you do not have them u cannot fly fish. The other essential gear are
waders and boots. Waders are like a wet suit that keep you dry and warm. Having waders is a bonus if you fly fish. Waders
are traditionally made from vulcanised rubber but available in more modern PVC, neoprene and Gore-tex variants. You can buy
different types of waders depending on were you like in the world. If you live in Calgary Alberta and you want to fish in the winter when
the lakes and streams are freezing over you can buy waders that can handle below -20 degree cold. You have the option for waders to
come with built in wading boots or you can get them without.
 A decent price for waders is 90-100 dollars but can range from 40-600 dollars. The problem with cheaper waders with or with out built
in boots are that the seems are week and may tear easily.
 Having the right boots is important to. There are different types of boots. For example felt bottom boots improve your footing on a
slippery stream or river so you don’t take a swim, but rubber soled will last longer. You can buy studs for your boots to screw in the
bottom for more grip and durability when wading in fast moving water. A Belly boat or pontoon boat is optional if you fly fish
on a lake. In that case you will need flippers for easy transportation so you can move a lot quicker or you can just
kick with you boots.

4.  A thin and very flexible fishing rod that was created to cast artificial fly. Fly are made of yew, green hart, and later split
bamboo, but todays fly rods can be made of carbon fiber and graphite and fiberglass. Bamboo rods are considered the
most expensive rods and the most beautiful. Fly rods are made to not have to use a weighted lure but instead use the
weight of the fly line to cast out the smallest and lightest flies.
 The size of your rod depends on the size of the fish you want to catch. Even the water and the wind are factors to choosing
a fly rod. There are different types of fly rods. Which include Fast action/tip flex Medium action/mid flex Slow action/full
flex.
 The Action means how flexible the fly rod is. The Faster the action the stiffer the rod is. Tip flex, mid flex and full flex
refers to as were the bend of the rod is when you are fighting a fish or casting.
 Their are different types of fly fishing rods.
 For a quiet lake you would want a rod with slow action so you can
see your bite easier and because the water is not rough it wont show
Cause your rod to bend because of the current.
 For a River or the ocean you would want moderate action or fast action
The reasons for this is the fish in Rivers and Oceans are usually bigger
And the current in them are a lot stronger.
reels have the same purpose to be able to cast out and catch a fish. The bigger the reel usually means more fly
Reel usually means more Line and a stronger leader. There are reels made for fishing small little trout and

For fishing on a small stream or creek that are
No wider or longer than 30ft will increase the life of the line a great deal.
Weight forward fly line is truly the most common type of
Fly line used today, the point of weight forward line is to shoot the fly forward for a longer cast. The first 1/3 of the line is the
thickest and the last is 2/3 to minimize friction on the fly rod guides.
