Re: [FantasticFishing] Is this flyfishing?

[Jessie]

The answer is yes to all 3 Egypt angler. Many of my books have "weighted" flys and a couple have fly's with double hooks and one has the with trailing spoons. The spinning reel goes into "bait casting techniques". I have done some trolling with a fly rig from a boat. (I caught a 14 pound muskie)(scared the crap out of me when it hit too) And I still do a lot of casting from the bank. The rod and the casting technique is the important part of fly fishing.

If you cast small lures or a spoon, would it still be called flyfishing? 2. Does the fly (or lure, if applicable) always have to be floating on the surface? Are there any 'diving' flies? 3. Does ff always have to be with an ff reel using standard ff techniques? Would a spinning reel do? Would cast-trolling off a boat or a river bank still be called ff? Thanks Yahoo!
