Fly Fishing . . . What Type Of Rod/Tackle Should I Be Looking For As A Beginner?
I fish quite often, but I have never gone fly fishing before. When I went for a scenic drive one weekend I noticed TONS of people fly fishing along the side of the river. Looked as though they were salmon fishing. It looked like a lot of fun. So I wanted to give it a go. Since I have never gone fly fishing before I was wondering what type of rod I should be looking for and what type of tackle would be involved.
Secondly . .are there any fly fishing rods for kids? My son LOVES to fish.
I live in British Columbia . . so I'm assuming the fish I'd be after would be Salmon
Go to the local shop that specializes in fly fishing equipment in your area. The salmon/ steelhead gear is heavier duty than a trout rod. All are fun and fairly easy to learn for the basics, but may take years to become a master at the sport. For a child's size rod, I suggest a fly rod for trout about 7 foot in a 6-7 weight. For you a length of 7-8 feet and a 7-9 weight. The shop personnel can explain all of these terms. Buy a couple of fly fishing magazines and do some reading. The sport is great.
