A fly fishing practice and amusement device utilizing a magnetic conducting target plate. The device has a central box to which a plurality of target units can be connected. Visual or aural indications are given when the target is hit by a simulated fly with a steel leader which completes a connection between the conducting plate and a projecting conducting lip at the target unit. A digital counter can be used for each target unit which keeps count of the number of hits by each of the participants over a given time period. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now in greater detail to the various figures of the drawing, wherein like reference characters refer to like parts, there is shown in FIGS.
1 and 2 the fly fishing device 2 of the present invention.
The fly fishing device 2 comprises a control unit 4 and a target unit 6a.
It should be noted that although one target unit 6a is shown, a plurality of target units 6a-6x may be used.
Cables 8a-8x connect each of the units 6a-6x to the control box 4 respectively.
The target unit 6a comprises a conducting plate 10 which is mounted on an insulated base 12.
A projecting lip 14 is mounted on one end of the insulated base 12, adjacent the conducting plate 10.
Mounted at the other end of the insulated base 12 are lights 16 and 18.
As will be explained in detail later, the light 16 will operate when power is applied to the device by switch SW1, and the light 18 will operate when the target is hit.
The participant, using a fly rod, casts the line toward the target.
Attached to the line is a steel leader 20 with the shank 21 of a fish hook and a simulated fly 22 attached thereto.
The simulated fly 22 can be made of steel wool or any other suitable conducting ferritic material.
If the simulated fly 22 lands on the conducting plate 10, the steel leader 20 will rest against the projecting lip 14.
This completes a circuit which, as will be explained later, turns off light 16 and turns on light 18.
In addition, the control box 4 comprises an annunciator 25 which is activated when the circuit is completed.
When the participant removes the line from the target unit, i.
e.
, removes the simulated fly from the conducting plate 10, and the steel leader 20 from the projecting lip 14, to recast the fly, the circuit is broken and the target light 18 is extinguished and the power-on light 16 is again operated.
A number of permanent magnets 13 are installed beneath, and attached to the underside of, the plate 10.
The plate 10 can be made of a conducting material such as aluminum
