Ask and fly fisherman what the most difficult part of beginning fly fishing was. They will most likely tell you that it is choosing a fly rod. Well I am here today to help you choose your very own fly rod. 1st off lets start by setting a price. I would say a good starter fly rod should cost around $100. now you must answer a few questions.
1. what type of fish are you pursuing?
2. will you be fishing small creek, lakes, or large rivers>
why I ask is there are different weights and lengths of rods. but if you were to own one rod I would suggest a 8 1/2 to 9 ft rod casting a 5 wt. I will go into a lot more detail about rods functions, casting, fly selecting, etc and a later date. I have to go for now but remember. for your 1st rod get a 8 1/2 to 9 ft 5wt rod. thanks for reading.
