Fish stories are a type of folklore that are often exaggerated or untrue. They usually involve fishing, and can be told in the form of LIES, YARNS, tales, or tall tales. LIES are short, often false statements, while YARNS are longer stories with some truth to them. Tales are stories that are often based on real events, but may have been embellished over time. Tall tales are exaggerated stories that are often humorous.
