Sharks on the Fly, VICTORIA
Airing Date: Jul 24th, 2006
Fly fishing is a type of fishing that involves using an artificial fly. It is different from traditional fishing methods in that fly anglers cast a hook that generally has bits of feather, fur, foam, yarn, or other similar material attached using thread to form what is referred to as a 'fly', as opposed to using worms or other bait.
While many fly fisherman venture onto the shores to fish for snapper, salmon, barracouta etc.many may fail to realise that the ultimate fight may be lying just offshore in the deep water.
