A fly fishing rod can be used to fish trout, salmon (both with feathers), and rainbow fish (with stripy feathers). They can be bought from various fishing shops. Fly fishing rods are used at fishing spots with the lure option. Popular fishing spots include the Barbarian Village, the Grand Tree, and Shilo Village. Fly fishing rods use feathers as bait. Feathers are dropped frequently from chickens or purchased from fishing shops.
The equipable version of the fly fishing rod, the pearl fly fishing rod, can be bought with molch pearls from Alry the Angler.
A fly fishing rod also spawns on the Isle of Souls in the south-east region.
The following fish are caught with a fly fishing rod:

Trivia
- Historically, fly fishing was the most popular way to train Fishing because of fast experience rates. However, after the Barbarian fishing update its popularity massively decreased, becoming a mainly free-to-play training method.
- In RuneScape Classic, fly fishing was the fastest way to achieve 99 Fishing throughout the entirety of the game's lifespan.
