Getting Started In Fly Fishing With The Right Equipment
Purchasing fly fishing equipment does not have to be complicated or expensive. In the world of fly fishing, all rods are listed with a set of numbers on the blank. The first number is usually the length of the rod in feet and inches. The second number is the weight of the fly line the rod is designed to cast with. The number does not refer to the weight of the rod in ounces. Sometimes the physical weight of the rod is marked on the blank, but most of the time it is not. The line weight designation was initiated in the early 70’s.

Should I Tie My Own Flies?
Any angler, who has presented a fly to foraging game fish, whether in fresh or saltwater, has contemplated tying his own flies. Whether or not to pursue this endeavor then becomes the operational question. At first blush this may seem to be a simple question. The simplicity or complexity of this decision is dependent upon one’s approach to tying after an affirmative decision has been made.
Fly tying is a methodical undertaking that requires the acquisition of a set of good tying tools, the mastery of some fundamental tying skills and techniques, and an understanding of fly tying materials as they relate to the tying of artificial flies. Contemporary information about fly tying is composed of a voluminous collection of books, magazines, videotapes, DVD’s and Internet presentations. These are extremely useful sources of information, especially for experienced tyers. I believe that beginning tyers can best be served by seeking the services of a competent instructor. “ THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AT THE VISE!”
