Just add bugs and water …
“Often the challenge is not getting the fly to the fish, but the rod past the spouse…”
***
Choosing the right fly rod:
A fly rods are the focal point of your gear, and choosing the right length, line weight and action will make a huge difference.
Length:
6′ to 7’6″: Tight spots and small streams;
8’6″ to 9′: For larger water bodies;
10′ and above: Typically spey and switch rods.
Line Weight:
0-4: Small streams to spring creeks, targeting small trouts, small grayling or panfish;
4-6: Average-sized trout and grayling, small bass, for medium to larger streams;
6-8: Large and deep streams and rivers targeting rainbows to steelhead;
8-10: Bass fishing to salmon and bonefish, up to striper and smaller tarpon;
11-12: Yellow fin tuna, larger tarpon, king salmon, dolphin.
Action:
Action is usually a matter of personal preference when selecting Fly Rods.
“The best way to find out if you like a faster, medium or slower action is to fish as much as you can! Doctors recommend at least two days a week!”
