We couldn’t resist. Introducing the finest snapshots of individuals engaged in fly fishing discovered through Google Earth. Adding a touch of humor, we explored some of the most iconic global fly fishing locations to spot enthusiasts wading in rivers, enjoying float fishing, or skiffs high tailing it to find saltwater species.
