Why do we fish with a fly?

Why do we fish with a fly? The answer to that could be many things, each one different than the other. For me personally, I fish with a fly, not because I need to get something to eat (although sometimes it’s nice to eat a fish that you just caught), but because I get peace in mind. It’s something really enjoyable, walking down to a creek or a pond, knowing that there might be some hatchings, and that it’s just you, the nature and the trout, that you are trying to catch, for the next few hours. The fact that you can escape from your daily chores for just a few hours is really satisfying, and at the same time do something you really enjoy, must be the best thing in the world. That’s making me feel privileged.

I found a great video on Vimeo, which reflects on this topic, and that gives us an inside look of what goes on in the head of a fly fisher sometimes. Although it’s enjoyable, it can be really frustrating, to be a fly fisher.

Watch the video below, and leave a comment of your own fly fishing experiences, good or bad.

Credits goes to Henry Harrison for making this beautiful film.
