Standing in the middle of the Salmon River near the town of Main Brook, Newfoundland, a woman spends time practicing her fly fishing techniques after partaking in some lessons.

Landing the artificial fly in the exact location is one of the hardest things to learn in fly fishing.

Fly fishing was once a way of fishing that was used in past years for catching trout and salmon but now people also use this specific way of fishing for pike, bass, panfish, carp, redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass. Other types of fish have been caught by fly fishermen over the years without even trying, they just happened to grab onto the line.
