If you are just getting started in the world of fly fishing, this is a great place to start. Knowing you have the correct equipment builds confidence for all of the steps to follow. Here’s a short video on how to tell what you are looking at!
You can narrow down what you need by waterway , and then by the size of fish you are trying to catch. The heavier the rod, the bigger fish it can handle. I fish a 12 wt when targeting 120lb tarpon and a 5wt when targeting 12-20 inch trout in my back yard river.
Creeks 0-4wt
Rivers 4-7wt
Ocean 8-12wt
