Unlike other casting methods. fly fishing can be thought of as a method of casting line rather than lure. Non-flyfishing methods rely on a lure\'s weight to pull line from the reel during the forward motion of a cast. By design, a fly is too light to be cast, and thus simply follows the unfurling of a properly casted fly line, which is heavier and more castable than lines used in other types of fishing.

Fly fishing is an ancient and distinct angling method, developed primarily for trout and salmon and now extended to other species such as pike, bass, and carp, as well as a wide range of marine species.
