I am looking into starting fly fishing, what do I buy?
Hank G asked:
I am moving to Pennsylvania, the so called fly fishing capitol of the us, and think it sounds really fun. I am a big ocean fisherman, i own a boston whaler 24 outrage and and getting pretty good at ocean fishing. What should i buy and where do i buy it.

if i were to but stuff it would be sportsman’s warehouse because it’s the cheapest and the best in my opinion, and it depends on if u plan on tying flies to, or just fly fishing.

I highly recommend that you buy a 9 foot 6 weight rod (8 foot rod if you’re fishing really brushy streams). Another good trout rod would be a 5 weight rod). Also buy a decent reel (you don’t need the $400 plus ones) and make sure you can get an extra spool. Fill one spool with a floating line and the other with a Type III sinking line). You’ll need a vest, some type of waders, extra leaders, a fly selection from a local fly fishing shop and a fly box.
Tools: leader straightener, forceps, clippers
Other: Dry Fly Floatant, product such as “DriYourFly”, and some small fly fishing type split shots.
A fairly good set up can be had at: (check out Rod and Reel Combo’s) or –Rods%2B%2526%2BReels–Rod%2B%2526%2BReel%2BOutfits_10151_-1_10001_advisor_CA.CategoryExpand_N_175001003_175000000_175001000
