Fly fishing is a sport that has been around for hundreds of years but nobody really knew about it until the last couple of centuries when it gained popularity in Britain and in the United States. For some, fly fishing is just "that thing where they fling a big long fishing line over their heads and try not to catch themselves on it." For others fly fishing is "the subject of a movie that had Brad Pitt in it" you know the one, from a long time ago?? For the fly fishing enthusiast though, fly fishing is a sport and the best way to educate others on fly fishing is with a fly fishing guide.
