Ok, now that the mods have founds us a home and Dwight has us formatted in place, lets move forward, having read Dusty�s excellent What You Always Wanted to Know About Fly Fishing, But Were Afraid to Ask - A Fly Fishing FAQ
I continue to believe it best to keep the tackle thread separate from technique so let�s all start at the beginning with tackle and learn and re-learn as beginners.
First of all, as a beginner, I would find it helpful to find a good fly combo kit, with rod, reel, fly line, and leader - a case would be handy.
Let�s have everyone�s idea of what kind of tackle you would choose for fly-fishing your pond?
Gonna fish for BG - Bass?
Bluegill only � maybe a 5 wt?
BG and Bass � how �bout a 6 wt?
How much money you wanna spend? (OK I know you experienced guy already have fly tackle but your ideas are important.) This stuff can be a hole in the water that you throw money in and we don�t want to go there�
OK, let�s get this beginner tackle thing moving - then I�ll tell you what beginner set I bought my grandson-in-law for his Christmas present.
Thanks,
