The fly lure is perhaps the lure with the most variations; many fly fishers make their own, either by real nature examples of insect, books or their own imagination.
The technique involves attaching small pieces of feathers, animalfur and other materials on a hook in order to make it resemble an insect. This is made by wrapping a line tightly around the hook's neck and wrapping the line over the desired material, if needed, a finish oil is added to improve floating ability.
Based on the behavior of the insect the lure is to resemble exist four main categories: dry fly, wet fly, a nymph and a streamer fly.
The fly lure may be used with a normal sport fishing rod, but a special fly fishing rod is often preferred. The fly fishing technique involves whipping out some fishing line in the air and letting it go at the right moment over the river and then letting the fake fly float on the water with the currents.
A flylure or Fly, or "pattern", in terms of sport fishing and flyfishing, is an artificial lure tied, most commonly, with thread, feathers, and fur, but may also include, lead (for weight), ribbon, tinsel, beads and other assorted materials.
A wet fly is traditionally fished in a down and across swing - the fly line is cast across the stream and the current carries it in a downstream arc until the line is directly downstream of the fisherman - "on the dangle".
Certain flylures such as streamers may be used with a normal sport fishing rod, but a special and much softer flyfishing rod is required for most flyfishing.

The term "flylure" is not in use in the United States, where a lure is considered distinct from an artificial fly.
Fly tying is a common practice in flyfishing, considered by many anglers an important part of the flyfishing experience.
