In fly fishing, fish are caught by using artificial flies that are cast with a fly rod and a fly line. The fly line (today, almost always coated with plastic) is heavy enough in order to send the fly to the target. This is one of the main differences between spinner and bait rods, which use heavy weight on the line to cast lures, bait, etc..
The basic tools needed for a fun day of fishing are a rod, a reel, fishing line, and hooks and lures. Because tackle is inexpensive and finding a place to fish is easy, almost anyone can fish.
Fishing for saltwater fish is done from a beach, off rocks, from a pier, or from a boat, from a rowboat, used in inland waters, to ocean-going craft of considerable size.
