Hi all
I have not fished the fly for a number of years and even then was realy rather green when it came to what type of rod / reel /line combination to use but now I want to get a new fly rod and reel to go after some heavy Bream and Barbel over the next few weeks and then maybe pike. What do you think the best action rod would be for these fish and remember my casting will be a bit rusty, also I do not want to spend vast amounts of money on gear that will only be used when all else fails or the fish will not take a bait off or near the surface. Can you give me some makes and prices and what what weight of rod I should be looking at.
