Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass. There are many reports of fly fisherman taking quite unintended species such as chub, bream and rudd while fishing for 'main target' species such as trout. There is a growing population of anglers whose aim is to catch as many different species as possible with the fly.

Great chart by Pat Donoghue - a conservationist, angler and writer in Nova Scotia, Canada. If you fish there or ever want to, it's worth a long look and a bookmark!

We walked out to a hill loch called Loch Leathan an Sgorra or Scor as it is referred. It is about a three mile walk in and the fishing was very hard and challenging with the bright hot sun. Trout came on for about one and a half hours, a good hatch of black flies brought them up and we caught about 20 trout.

Fly fishing is all about finding a great location, preferably in the middle of a hatch. The Green River in Utah was one such place, but is it still?The Secret Is Out

The mystery of where juvenile albatrosses fly to after leaving New Zealand may soon be solved, with satellite tracking devices now successfully showing the progress of two males and one female hatched at Taiaroa Heads, Otago, this season.

Cyborg insects with embedded microelectromechanical systems will run remotely controlled reconnaissance missions for the military, if its '"HI-MEMS" program succeeds. Hybrid-Insect MEMS--a program hatched earlier this year at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency --aims to harness insects the way horses were harnessed by the cavalry.
