Fly Fishing Rods

When purchasing a Fly Fishing Rod, remember the following tips:

• The size-number of the rod is directly linked to the size or number of the fly line you are using. Basically, a 3-weight rod will cast a 3 weight line, and an 8-weight rod will cast an 8-weight line.

• Essentially, you want a rod suitable for streams and ponds. A middle-weight rod and line will do the trick, usually a 5 or 6-weight rod.

Fly Fishing Reels

When purchasing a Fly Fishing Reel, remember the following tips:

• First, consider that reels are sized for the line being used.

• Second, there are two different types of cranking action used: one crank and multiplier reels.

• Finally, a quality drag system is recommended.

Fly Fishing Vests

When purchasing a Fly Fishing Vest, remember the following tips:

• The vest should be able to hold clippers, flies, leaders, tippets, various tools, fly fishing line, weights, and fly floatants.

• Too many pockets makes for a heavy vest. Travel light and keep it simple.

• 20-30 pockets should do the trick just fine. Remember, a fly fishing vest should be functional and light.

Fly Fishing Flies

When purchasing Fly Fishing Flies, remember the following tips:

• Simply match your flies with what the fish are after.

• Play with different color and size combinations.

• Remember, mimic the natural surroundings of your fish.
