I am looking for some basic help setting myself up for some flyfishing.
I've got myself sorted with some kit, including a 9 foot 7 weight rod (a shakespeare Targa fly for £20) a basic greys reel, a WF 7weight floating line (with backing) and some braided loops.
Next week I am going for an evening at a local put and take lake in norfolk, and I hope to do a bit more of this, as well as goiung after chub on the rivers etc.
What do aI need in terms of a leader? I have a shoebox full of different monos etc, can I make my own tapered leaders, and if so, how long should they be and what combinations of line should i use?
also, are there any other ancilliary bits and pieces i should take with me?
