Abstract
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.
