Fly fishing equipment – What to choose
Fly Fishing has been a favorite sport of many for centuries. While salmon and trout are the most targeted species for fly fishing there are many who target lesser known fish. Not only is fly fishing reserved for other freshwater varieties such as carp,bass or pike but also salt water varieties from flounder through to one of the greatest sport-fish, marlin.
It is therefore easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of fly fishing equipment available.
Fly Fishing Equipment Types And Uses
Waders – Keeping dry and warm will allow the fisherman to fish for many hours. Waders come in several types, hip waders for shallow wading in creeks or lake edges and full body waders
Depending on the conditions to be fished body waders can be obtained in various thicknesses of neoprene for colder conditions or lighter high tech GORE-TEX varieties.
Reels – The area you fish and the target species will determine choice of fly reel. If you plan on fishing small streams the best setup will be a three to five weight combination of rod and reel. Fly fishing in Lakes and larger rivers where bigger fish are will require a reel and rod combo of 7 to 8 weight. If you intend chasing game fish such as marlin you will need very high quality big game fly fishing reels
Rods – Fly rods in the same way as reels come in various weights and lengths depending on the variety of fish chosen. Fly rods are weighted from numbers one through to twelve, one being ultra light and twelve being very strong and heavy. Your fly rod and lines are the most important fishing tools, always buy the best you can afford, I can highly recommend sage fly fishing equipment.
Fly Fishing Vessels – Other than using a conventional runabout boat there are there flotation devices to allow the fly fisher to get closer and quietly to his prey. These include float tubes and single man pontoon boats.
Fly Lines – Appointing the correct line for the fly rod and reel is also significant. Without properly matching your fly fishing equipment you will not get the best casting distance. By using for a case in point a number 7 rod and a number three line is a poor match and will cause casting problems, therefore all of your lines, reels and rods must match to the comparable weight number. While reels aren’t so important, the line and rod should be the same, however you can get by buy using one line weight different. With a top quality no 7 rod for example you should be able to cast a number 8 flyline with ease.
