Fly fishing is an angling method in which an artificial "fly" is used to catch fish.

The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line.

Casting a nearly weightless fly or "lure" requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting.

Fly fishermen use hand tied flies that resemble natural invertebrates, baitfish, other food organisms, or "lures" to provoke the fish to strike (bite at the fly).

Upland hunting is an American term for a form of bird hunting in which the hunter pursues upland birds including quail, pheasant, grouse, woodcock, prairie chicken, chukar, grey partridge, and others.

Upland birds tend to be found on the ground in heavy cover, so hunters generally employ the use of gun dogs to locate and retrieve game.

The average group consists of 2-4 hunters with 1-2 dogs.

Normally, if there is one dog the owner usually handles the dog while the others focus on shooting.

Fishing tackle is the equipment used by fishermen when fishing.

Almost any equipment or gear used for fishing can be called fishing tackle.

Some examples are hooks, lines, sinkers, floats, rods, reels, baits, lures, spears, nets, gaffs, traps, waders and tackle boxes.

A fishing rod is a long, flexible rod used to catch fish.

At its simplest, a fishing rod is a simple stick or pole attached to a line ending in a hook (formerly known as an angle, hence the term angling).

The length of the rod can vary between.

To entice fish, bait or lures are impaled on one or more hooks attached to the line.

The line is generally stored on a reel which reduces tangles and assists in landing a fish.
