Fly Fishing Newbie

[walk it off]

Stream and lake trout. Small and large mouth bass. Change out or light test work for both? Also I was pricing flies and what is a median price? Streams I'm under canopy but lake I'm fishing in direct sunlight working the reeds. I could(will) be losing flies. Got any ideas? Should have around $150 left of $500 after rod and reel.

Fresh water, Lakes in the Sierras and streams. Lakes are at capacity and streams are still roaring because of melt off. Not sure how or if that makes a difference.

Different rods and reels for different line weights and tackle. Just like Burr said.

I'd check locally at a fly shop near where your fishing

Ask'em what are they biting on they'll be glad to hook you up

Fly fishing is huge up here.

It's funny to watch the tourists------they look like a walking LL Bean catalog.

I caught 1 trout on a fly rod one time. Could only roll cast because streams in Pa. are very narrow. We would catch small brookies on meal worms and very small hooks in mountain pools

. Gave it all up for surf casting.
