Story Of Fishing Fly


I know many of you are wondering how Black Dog got its name. Right? Ok, first of all I want to tell you that it is not named after an animal and no canines were hurt in the making of it.

Black Dog was christened by Walter Millard whose favorite sport was fishing angling. He used to unwind and relax while angling in the Spey and Tay rivers of Scotland since the early 19th century. He named the whisky Black Dog in honour of his favorite salmon fishing fly.

 Angling is a method of fishing by means of an "angle" (fish hook). The hook is usually attached to a fishing line and the line is often attached to a fishing rod. Fishing rods are usually fitted with a fishing reel that functions as a mechanism for storing, retrieving and paying out the line. The hook itself can be dressed with lures or bait. A bite indicator such as a float is sometimes used. Source: wiki

Fly fishing is an angling method in which an artificial "fly" is used to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. Casting a nearly weightless fly or "lure" requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. Fly fishermen use hand tied flies that resemble natural invertebrates or other food organisms, or "lures" to provoke the fish to strike.

Angling is one of the world’s finest sport. It is one of those sports which the rich and famous people prefer to play to unwind and relax, something like golf and horse racing. They love relaxing with a cup of Black Dog Scotch in hand after playing these games.
