The Essential Fly is a strategy for getting fish like earthy colored trout, rainbow trout, salmon, grayling, pike or saltwater species where the snare is fake made typically of engineered materials, fur and quill. The hand-tied fishing fly may resemble an invertebrate (bug), a fly that has landed on the water, a lure, or an attractant meant to get the target fish to bite and hook itself. They try to make the hand-tied fly look like a bug or other invertebrate below the water's surface or like a real fly has landed there as part of the natural ecosystem to fish. The Essential Fly, in contrast to other methods of fishing, is an art form that involves tying an artificial fly, matching the hatch, and reading the water to determine where fish will be. In comparison to other forms of fishing, they involve casting a bait, such as a maggot or pellet, out into the water and presenting it to the fish below.
