[{"role": "system", "content": "Fly fishing is an angling method in which an artificial \"fly\" is used to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. Casting a nearly weightless fly or \"lure\" requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. Fly fishermen use hand tied flies that resemble natural invertebrates, baitfish, other food organisms, or \"lures\" to provoke the fish to strike (bite at the fly). Fly fishing can be done in fresh or salt water. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (trout, salmon, steelhead) and warm-water species, notably bass. In Britain, where natural water temperatures vary less, the distinction is between game fishing for trout and salmon versus coarse fishing for other species. Techniques for fly fishing differ with habitat (lakes and ponds, small streams, large rivers, bays and estuaries, and open ocean.) Author Izaak Walton called fly fishing \"The Contemplative Man's Recreation\". 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 to send the fly to the target.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Have you ever been fly fishing? It's my favorite weekend getaway. The trout in our lake our easy picking"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love to go fishing, it brings back a lot of child hood memories, but I have never fly fished. I know that it is an art in itself. The casting, the lures, etc"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes. Most fly fishermen make their own lures, and it  takes a lot of practice. I've been making my own for years. Im pretty good now."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Really? It's so intricate from what I have seen on TV, what makes the perfect lure? I got to see one of the pro fly fishermmen, oh what was his name? Talk about a casting machine, all in the flick of the wrist"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It is all in the wrist, but you need to have the right rod and reel, too. It's fascinating to watch others techniques."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I agree.  What exact type of fish are you fishing for. I only fished for catfish and croppy?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Most of the time I'm going for trout, but channel catfish are where it's at. There's so many of them, and they fight like crazy. They're one of the best fish to go after."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That sounds right up my ally. I can imagine the  adrealine when you land one. I loved enough in a boat. The biggest catfish I have ever caught on the lake was around 30lb. I never thought about channel catfish in a river, interesting?"}]
