Fishing fly and method of fly fishing

Abstract

A fishing fly for catching a fish, comprising a folded rubber string core, one or more materials surrounding the folded rubber string core form a pattern representative of food available to the fish, and an eye formed by a continuous section of the folded rubber string core extending from the one or more materials is provided. The one or more materials may include thread, feathers, or beads. The core may alternatively be metal, plastic, or unfolded rubber. A method of fishing using the fishing fly is also provided. The method includes attaching a fly to a line containing a hook at one end, the fly being attached at some distance from the hook, placing the hook end of the line into a body of water to be fished, and retrieving one or more fish caught on the hook.

1 . A hookless fly capable of being attached to a fishing line without a knot in the fishing line, comprising:
 a rubber eye through which the fishing line can be looped such that the fly is held in place on the line by friction;   whereby the fly is held in place on the fishing line by friction; and   whereby the fly can be moved along the fishing line without disconnecting the fishing line from the fly.   
     
     
         2 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 1 , whereby the fly can be removed from the fishing line without breaking the fishing line. 
     
     
         3 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a body. 
     
     
         4 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the eye is flexible. 
     
     
         5 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising materials surrounding the body to imitate a natural fly. 
     
     
         6 . A hookless fly, comprising:
 a molded preformed core forming a structural base;   one or more materials tied on the core to craft an artificial fly having a fly pattern; and   an eye extending from the core.   
     
     
         7 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the eye is integral to the molded preformed core. 
     
     
         8 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the eye and the molded preformed core are separate components that are attached. 
     
     
         9 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 6 , whereby the fly is held in place on the fishing line by friction. 
     
     
         10 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 6 , whereby the fly can be moved along the fishing line without disconnecting the fishing line from the fly. 
     
     
         11 . The hookless fly as claimed in  claim 6 , whereby the fly can be removed from the fishing line without breaking the fishing line.
