fly fishing advice

stikflote · Jun 25, 2010

,HI,all,
im after some advice ,im going to try my hand at fly fishing,

im after a rod and reel that will cope with a AFTM 7"8, i do not have a big budget ,,and it seems i need a load of bits to go with it,,

now i do have a daughter who fly fished for salmon,,and who made the derby paper with a 23lb salmon, thats too good for dad ,but she has not fished for a long while now ,and she does not any bits left ,so all suggestions please,

thankyou keith

Do you mean you already have a line rated at AFTM 7 or 8? This is a line more suitable for reservoirs rather than rivers.

Do you intend to fish for trout mainly in rivers? If so, are they small streams or medium sized rivers ? Alternatively will you be fishing stillwaters for rainbows ?

You don't need much equipment to go fly fishing.

I suggest you transfer your post to the fly fishing section where you may get more replies.
