A few of the words

TIPPET
The tippet is the finest, nearly invisible section of line at the very end of the leader, thin enough to fool a wary trout, strong enough to bring it to hand.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
MENDING
Mending is the art of flipping loops of line upstream after the cast, slowing the fly's drift so the current doesn't drag it unnaturally across the surface.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
RIFFLE
A riffle, shallow, broken water humming over gravel, is one of the most productive stretches on any trout stream, rich in the insects fish feed on.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
HATCH
A hatch happens when aquatic insects emerge en masse from the river surface, sometimes turning the air above the water into a dancing, fluttering cloud.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Fly fishing word search, printable and free, where RIFFLE and HATCH wait somewhere in the grid for a pen to find them.

About Fly Fishing

Fly fishing turns a river into a language. The angler reads the water, a seam where fast current meets slow, a riffle breaking over stones, a dark pool where a trout holds steady in the cold. The fly itself is the sentence: a mayfly tied from feather and thread, drifted just so, and the whole morning holds its breath waiting for the rise.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
