Fly fishing is a method of fishing where you use the weight of the line (rather than the weight of the bait, lure, or sinker) to cast. It allows you to get a near weightless lure (the fly) out where the fish are.
Fly line is the special thick, heavy line used for fly fishing.
The leader is the thin monofilament used between the heavy line and the fly, several feet long, so the splash of the line hitting the water will be several feet away from the fly.
Casting is throwing your fly out there, away from where you're standing, towards where you think the fish are.
The rod is the "pole" used by the fisherman. Fly rods are designed differently from casting or spinning rods. The reel is the device that cranks in the line or lets it out.Again, fly reels are very different from spinning or baitcasting reels.
Anglers is another name for fishermen (or women).
Flies are the lures fly fishermen use. They're generally just hooks with bits of feathers and/or fur tied onto them, to simulate insects or small fish.
Trout rivers are rivers which contain trout.
