i would love to go fly fishing someday but i dont know the first thing about flies or fishing
Fly fishing is great! You should try it! Instead of regular bait, an artificial "fly" is used to catch fish!
ah, i like the real thing! do people use real flies?
No, fly fishermen use "flies" that resemble baitfish, natural invertebrates or other food organisms to provoke the fish to bite! It's very challenging! 
ah, that sounds kinda complex. maybe i will stick to buying frozen fish at Sam's Club
Fly fishing
Fly fishing is an angling method that uses a light-weight lure -- called an artificial fly -- to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. The light weight requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. The flies may resemble natural invertebrates, baitfish, or other food organisms.
Fly fishing can be done in fresh or salt water. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (trout, salmon, steelhead)
are used to cast artificial flies, spinning rods and bait casting rods are designed to cast baits or lures. Ice fishing rods are designed to fish through small holes in ice covered lakes. Trolling rods are designed to drag bait or lures behind moving boats.
History.
Judging by stone inscriptions dating back to 2000 BC, fishing rods go back to ancient Egypt, China, Greece, Trinidad and Tobago, Rome and medieval England.
