Brown Trout In the next few weeks I will be posting information on fly fishing. First I would like to direct the following comments to those who would like to learn how to fly fish but feel it's cost to much to get started or it looks to complicated and were do I go to get help. COST:A combo (71/2'Fly Rod,Reel,D/T floating Fly line and 71/2' Leaders) $90.00 to $135.00. I use a 81/2' for Trout but I can also fish for pan fish, Small and largemouth bass plus I can cast a clouser minnow using a 6 or 7wt. line,double taper or weight forward fly line. Prefer Weight forward. If you can't find a deal on a new or used combo, look around for a used fly rod(don't over look the old fiber glass or bambo rods at least its a start), any fly reel will do for now($10.00 to $20.00).The only thing you might have to purchase new is a floating fly line(the weight of the line to use might be marked on your fly rod if not shoot me an E-Mail and I might be abe to help you. Now all you need is leaders and some flies or lures. WHERE TO LOOK: E-Bay,Pawn shopes,tag and yard sales,auctions and Goggle the Web. To be continue on next post. Tight lines,Russ. |
