9 ESSENTIALS TO FLY FISHING

9 ESSENTIALS TO FLY FISHING

Fly fishing is a whole different ball game then "spinney rod" as I call it. But I'm here to teach you everything you need to know about fishing. But the great thing about fly fishing, contrary to what you might feel, YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING TO LIKE FLY FISHING. 

1. Fly rod 

2. Fly reel (with floating or sinking line)

3. Tippet

4. Flies (dries, midges, scud, hoppers, nymphs, streamers, ect.)

5. Fly pack

6. Nippers 

7. Hemostats

8. Floatant  

9. Fly box

So, I have everything you need here at my store besides the rod, reel, and flies. We are working on having those soon. But in the meantime, I've put some links to the rod and reel I have. My cute dad makes my flies so I don't personally buy them, but I've added links of great places to buy those flies.

 

Note: If you are just getting started, go to Cabella's and buy the $100 dollar rod and try it out. But when you are ready for the big leagues, get something nice, you won't regret it.
