History Of Fly Fishing by Bob Bastian

Fly fishing has been around in various forms for many years. Early historical records indicate that Macedonian fishermen were using artificial flies to catch fish as early as the second century. The Roman Claudius Aelianus described the Macedonian anglers as using six-foot rods with six-foot line. Aelianus detailed how the Macedonian fishermen would craft artificial flies from a hook with red wool and insect wings tied on. These Macedonian fishermen were apparently quite successful with their technique. There is also some evidence that fishing with artificial flies may even predate the second-century Macedonian techniques.

Unfortunately, little else was written about ancient fly fishing methods. It was 1496 before any major work was published describing fly fishing.

It is thought that modern fly fishing probably developed in England and Scotland. This techniques similar to modern techniques began to be developed in England in the 19th century. Around this time fly fishing clubs were also formed in England to accommodate a growing interest in the sport. Part of the interest in this fishing in southern England was because of the prevalence of shallow, weedy rivers. It proved to be well-adapted to this type of water course.

It quickly became something of an elitist sport in England. It purists insisted on fishing with dry flies only and looked down on wet fishing as being inferior. Wet fishing continued to be developed around the same time, however. The US and Scandinavia also saw fly fishing popularity increase during the 19th century. However, anglers in the US and Scandinavia did not share the English view concerning the superiority of dry fishing. US and Scandinavian anglers fished both dry and wet flies.

This materials have continued to develop over the years. Significant advances have been made in this equipment, including rods, line and flies.

Early fly fishing rods were made from a tropical wood known as greenheart. Bamboo replaced greenheart as fly fishing popularity spread. Bamboo rods were further refined as American rod builders developed advanced rod building techniques that involved cutting the bamboo into strips before gluing the bamboo back together around a solid core. Following World War II fiberglass became a popular material for fly rod construction. The fiberglass rods were more affordable than their bamboo predecessors since bamboo rods may take as much as 100 hours to build. Modern rods are usually made from a graphite compound. Modern rods are less expensive than earlier rods and perform exceptionally well.

Artificial flies were originally made from natural materials like feathers and fur. Most modern flies are made from synthetic materials.

Fly line has also been improved quite a bit. Fly line used to be made of horse hair. Horse hair line was replaced by silk line. The silk line was an improvement over horse hair but the line still had to be removed from the reel periodically to allow it to dry.

US interest in fly fishing peaked in the 1920s with Maine, Vermont and Wisconsin being the most popular areas for fishing. Interest increased again in the 1950s with the development of affordable, fiberglass fishing rods, synthetic fly line and monofilament leaders. These developments served to make it a more affordable sport for many people.

Are special hooks necessary for fly tying?

I want to tie my own flies but the Dry Fly Hooks are really expensive. Do i really need to buy those hooks or can i use standard hooks?

You can get away with ordinary hooks, but I'd only do it in a pinch and only for certain flies. You don't want to tie flies with regular fishing hooks all the time. Fly fishing hooks are sort of expensive, but if you consider the cost of buying flies, you're coming out ahead.

Fly fishing hooks are different from ordinary hooks in several ways. First, their shape is different. Most of them, especially dry fly hooks, have straight, flat shanks. This enables you to easily place them in your vise and tie on your materials. It's not as easy as it may seem to substitute an ordinary hook. The vise has trouble hanging onto regular hooks and the tying is hard to get started. Any sort of baitholder barbs also get in the way. Fly fishing hook eyes are also bent or not bent, depending on the intended application.

Second, there is weight. Fly fishing hooks are made with extra heavy and extra light wire, according to what you want to use them for. Dry fly hooks, for example, can be very light, which will help you present and fish the flies the way their supposed to work. However, they are still as strong as an ordinary hook in the same size, and that's one reason they're more spendy -- superior materials. Ordinary hooks for a dry fly will likely swamp, tip over, etc.

Finally, there is length. Most fly patterns are tied onto hooks with shanks that are longer than ordinary hooks. A 2X long #12 hook, for example, has a shank that is as long as a #10 hook. These extra long and extra short hook shanks allow accurate reproduction of fly patterns. Again, you could try tying with ordinary hooks, but just try using a regular hook for a pattern that calls for a 3X long or a 2X short hook -- your flies will look and act funky.

So, you can try tying flies on ordinary fish hooks and for certain patterns it might work. However, if I were you I'd splurge on the fly fishing hooks, especially for dry flies. You will experience much less frustration. Also, it's hard to get ordinary hooks in sizes much smaller than 14, so if you want to tie gnats and small midges, you're limited to fly fishing hooks anyhow. Once you have a good inventory of hooks you won't be spending too much. I'm always surprised how long a pack of 50 hooks lasts. Plus, don't forget they ARE reusable. As you get better at casting and knot tying, you'll find that you can use the same hook over and over. When your fly gets chewed up by fish, just take it home, remove the materials, sharpen the barb, and tie it again.
