Fishing has long been a sport of both necessity and hobby, drawing enthusiasts far and wide who love the great outdoors and a chance to test their skill at the edge of a stream or lake - or in the middle of the ocean. Fly fishing in particular has enjoyed tremendous popularity over many generations of fishermen. But because fly fishing differs so greatly from traditional fishing, there are a variety of decisions to make that are normally unnecessary. In this instance, a fly fishing guide can be most helpful in planning out your experience.

Fly fishing has existed in recorded history for nearly 2000 years and gets its name from the fisherman's use of artificial flies as bait. As opposed to traditional fishing where fishermen use organic bait - live or dead - as bait, fly fishermen use a variety of synthetic material as bait. The types of flies are chosen based on the type of fish that are trying to be attracted; once attached to the hook and line, the fly is cast out to the water using rhythmic movements that replicate the movements of an insect or something that to which the fish would be attracted. During dry fly fishing, the fly is made to "dance" above the water; in wet fly fishing, the fly is actually submerged in order to attract fish beneath the surface. Determining the type of fly fishing that will be done depends solely on the type of fish the fisherman is interested in catching and that is where a fly fishing guide can be most helpful.

Fly fishing is done in all parts of the country - and in the world. But not all times of the year are appropriate for fly fishing in these areas. A fly fishing guide acts as a travel guide of sorts, giving the fisherman inside information on the best spots for fly fishing and the best times of year to visit. This can be enormously helpful for the fisherman who is looking to experience a particular type of fly fishing.

Additionally, a fly fishing guide will provide information on accommodations, dining, transportation, and a host of other information necessary to plan the perfect trip. There are many resorts throughout the country that provide packages specifically for fly fishermen; a fly fishing guide can point out these particular packages and help you make the decision that will help you make the most from your trip.

Think of a fly fishing guide as the ultimate travel tool for fly fishing enthusiasts. You can find such a guide in bookstores anywhere and even in their electronic form online. Comprehensive and convenient, a fly fishing guide will allow you to plan your next adventure with excitement and ease.
