The excess line gathers at the bottom and when you pull out about 15 feet of line, you cast out. Fly fishing created a special bond between them. We spend our time together fishing. McClave and his father fished in the rivers and lakes near their hometown in Billings, Mont., where they would fish for rainbow and brown trout on rivers, and brook and cutthroat trout in lakes. There are two main types of flies to use as bait, the dry fly and the wet fly.
Dry flies are puffy in appearance and float on the water's surface as flying insects do.
They are usually used in the river between rocks and eddy currents where the fly drifts down stream. Wet flies are used in lakes and sink in the water to imitate underwater bugs. The whole technique of the sport revolves around knowing where to find the fish and where to land the cast. Fish tend to like the least resistant current in a river. They can be found behind rocks, on the side of banks and in eddy currents, which are the calm waters beside the swift currents.
