A Wikipedia Definition Of Fly Fishing

The following is the Wikipedia definition of Fly Fishing (Located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_fishing)

Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass.

There are many reports of fly anglers taking unintended species such as chub, bream and rudd while fishing for 'main target' species such as trout.

There is a growing population of anglers whose aim is to catch as many different species as possible with the fly.
