American rod builders developed superior techniques for making bamboo rods: thin strips were cut from the cane, planed into shape, and then glued together to form light, strong, hexagonal rods with a hollow core that were superior to anything developed before.

Fly Fishing Rods
Most fly fishing rods vary between 2m (6 feet) and 4m (14 feet) in length. The earliest fly rods were made from greenheart, a tropical wood, and later bamboo originating in the Tonkin area of Guangdong Province in China. The mystical appeal of handmade split-cane rods has endured despite the emergence over the last 50 years of rod-making materials that offer more durability and performance: fiberglass and graphite.

In the late 19th century, anglers began using the fly to fish the regions many trout-rich streams. Many of them also wrote about the practice and invented new flies, drawing yet more anglers to the region, which is still considered the birthplace of American dry-fly fishing.

It's interesting that a fly line can be "cast" without any fly or lure on it at all, a feat impossible with a typical rod and reel. The point is that a fly can be presented gently and under the control of the angler instead of plopping down with a big splash. Stealth is often critical in fly fishing.

Fishing with Wet flies
A wet fly is traditionally fished in a down and across swing - which means that the fly line is cast across the stream and the current carries it in a downstream arc until the line is directly downstream of the fisherman. In slow pools or on a large river the line may be retrived slowly by a figure of eight retrieve (coiling the line in the palm of the hand).

In the UK, fly fishing comes under the generic of "lures". In the USA and other parts of the world, fly fishing is considered to be completely separate to lure fishing.

Tying your own flies is a common practice in fly fishing, considered by many anglers an integral part of the fly fishing experience. Many fishermen tie their own flies, either following patterns in books, natural insect examples, or, best of all, using their own imagination. The technique involves attaching small pieces of feathers, animal fur and other materials on a hook in order to make it attractive to fish. This is made by wrapping thread tightly around the hook and tying on the desired materials.
