first use
a roman first used a stick string and a fake fly. this was not discovered until a couple years ago. the idea was dropped for over 2000 years -
legitimate use
the first unarguable use was in the 1900s using the weight of the line to cast. this is a type three lever using the between the fulcrum and the load. people where amazed that you could trick a fish into thinking a fly was real. -
the near end of the fishing world
as time wore on people became less and less intrested in fly fishing. but fly fishing was still popular to say the least. but when world war one broke out almost every young able bodied man was drafted. Fishing was considered "man work" and almost distroyed this industry. -
changes of the rod
the changes of the fly fishing rod where in the areas of the rod going from strong bamboo to strong and flexible pexi glass.then people started putting brand names on them. -
changes to the weight
after some time areodynamics where a top prority so that the line could be cast further. less pexiglass was used and the line was made thinner for even more areodynamic effects. -
modern fly fishing rods
todays fly fishing rods are pexiglass and very aerodynamic with custom reels. fly fishing has changed alot.
