Learn Fly Fishing

Suggestions for the best beginers fly rod?

I am looking for a fly rod to learn with. I am new to fly fish and know little about it.

Recommendations:

#1 Go to a dedicated fly shop if you have one near you.
Avoid discount stores and most chain sporting goods stores.

#2 A good length/weight for the new trout angler on most streams would be 8 1/2' for a #5. This would NOT be the rig of choice to swing heavy streamers on large rivers or make delicate presentations on miniscule, overgrown creeks. But it would be practical for just about any other trouting situation.

#3 The big names (Winston, Sage, Scott, Orvis, Loomis, etc) all make quality rod series for the guy that isn't ready to drop big bucks on the flagship rods. What they lack in cosmetics is compensated with excellent tapers, good craftsmanship, and support. Some models are US made like their big siblings.

#4 A relatively recent tactic in fly rod design and marketing is to produce rods that are quite fast in action. They impress new anglers with their feeling of strength and power. But they usually lack the *feel* that experienced fly anglers want. Some are clubs. Some are nothing more than *underlined* (that is, the mfr states the rod is a 5wt, when in fact it is truly a 6 or even 7wt.). TFO rods come to mind. Avoid them for this reason and more.

#5 In connection with the comment #4, think about what your practical fishing distance will be and make sure the rod you select is comfortable casting at that distance. You don't want a cannon for trouting. Don't be duped by parking lot exhibitions of salespeople demonstrating the rod's distance capabilities.

#6 For a good, affordable line, look at Cortland's 444 (sometimes called the *peach* line). The 444 is a full length, high quality line with time-tested tapers. It's durable while remaining supple. The finish is excellent and will remain so for numerous seasons with proper care. The price remains fair after many years in production. There are some entry level lines available, but they're shorter in length and lifespan. Your line choice is very important. I'd recommend the purchase of a DT (double taper) line; you'll essentially have two lines to wear out (just reverse the line) rather than the single taper of a WF (weight forward). Yes, there is a reason that line mfrs and fly shops frequently recommend WF lines for situations where a DT will do equally well. Go cheap on the line and you might as well go even cheaper on everything else.

#7 You can get by with just about any single-action reel made today. There is no need to spend a lot of money, unless you've got lots to spend and you enjoy using high quality goods. Make sure your reel choice balances the rod. Some cheap reels are quite heavy due to their inferior materials and design and will thus create a rod/reel combo that feels off balance. Drag is unimportant. A click-pawl reel will do just as well as a disc drag model. At about $100, you can purchase reels produced from machined aluminum (like the Orvis BBS). For many years, buying a quality machined reel at such a low price wasn't possible. Now it is. These tend to be lighter than reels produced from alloy castings, and the tolerances and finish tend to be a bit better. If you want to save a few dollars buying something used, the reel would be the place to do so.

If you think fly fishing will be an activity you intend to continue, don't get to caught up in buying the perfect outfit initially. Lifelong fly fishers are still searching for "The Outfit" and love the pursuit. Choose items of good quality that fall well within your budget. You can spend the rest of your angling life finding the perfect rods and reels...after you know what suits you the best.

A Beginners Guide to Easy Fly Fishing Tips

If you have just decided to learn fly fishing, you need all the tips and advices that you can get. Fly fishing is a popular sport engaged by people who wants a break from stress and work, and who wants to challenge themselves. Yes, fly fishing is a challenging sport because it requires skills and techniques. Here are some of the basic and easy fish flying tips for beginners.

1. Practice - an elementary rule in almost anything you want to learn for the first time. Make sure that you give ample time to practice your casting in your home which will determine your success in fish flying. Without a good casting technique, you will either end up quitting fly fishing or be a frustrated one. It is important that you develop and accurate cast.

2. Tools - this is very important and should be considered first hand. Choose the right tools that are cost friendly, durable, and comfortable to use. Each tools or part of the tools have specific functions such as the rod which has actions that will tell you if a fish as caught the bait. The length and comfortability in holding the rod should be ascertained because it is essential when you are fly fishing.

3. Bait - choose the right and best bait you can get your hands on. You have plenty of baits to choose from such as gurbs, plastic worms, and artificial flies. The bait will determine which kinds of fish will most likely bite it. There are different fish in different locations so make sure that you got the right bait for a certain fish. If you don't know about the fishes in a certain area, you can ask local townsmen. You will get pretty much information since almost all people living near lakes and rivers know how to fly fish.

4. Be prepared for running fish - most first time fishers will probably freak out when a fish swims towards them. If you panic, you might just ruin your chances of catching the fish. When a fish is rushing towards you, stand on your ground, lift your rod a little bit over your head and slowly lower it back if the fish turns around.

There are more fly fishing tips that beginners can consider such as the color of the bait, the proper handling of the rod, the length, etc. You must also consider the best fly fishing locations. There's no point in fishing where there is none or little fish around. But these 4 are the basics which one must always give due consideration. Fly fishing is a great sport and learning it is a great decision. But it takes time to actually master the skills so you must be patient. If you don't catch fish for the first time, don't be frustrated. If you have failed for many attempts, keep trying. Fly fishing tips are here to help you but you can only learn so much. There are more things to learn in actual fishing, so once you feel like you're good to go, fly fish in the nearest lake.

Fly Fish

Where can I fly fish in the Colorado Rockies?

I'm going back to visit family in Castle Rock, CO, and I was hoping to do some fly fishing while there. I'd like to stay in the Denver-metro area, but I could travel a ways if need be. Does anyone have suggestions for that area?

lots of good places to go- if you want to stay local, best bet is the South Platte- closest top quality water.

If you don't mind driving, I would suggest:

Gunnison, East, and Taylor rivers. A few hours over to the west of Castle rock.

Willing to go a bit further yet? The Roaring Fork, and or Frying Pan.

The salmonfly and green drake hatches are coming up soon, call a fly shop and see whats hatching when you will be there.

Keep in mind hatches may be a bit earlier/later with the extra runoff this year.

Good luck

Fly Fishing Basics Are The Gateway To Understanding An Ancient Technique

Everyone knows the basics of fishing. There's a rod, reel, fishing line, hook, bait; you cast the line, wait for a bite, and reel in your dinner. Experienced fishermen know there is more to it than that, but for most of us that description appropriately sums it up. However, there are many types of fishing, such as salt water and fresh water, and perhaps the most artful of them all, fly fishing. You have probably heard of fly fishing - it has been in recorded history for nearly 2000 years - and you probably know that it does not involve fishing for flies, but if that is all you know then a primer in fly fishing basics can bring you up to speed.

Unlike other forms of fishing, fly fishing does not typically use any kind of organic bait, live or dead. Instead, fly fisherman use artificial flies - ribbon, string, hair, feathers - as a lure to attract fish. The artificial flies are attached to the hook and line, and the fisherman attracts fish with movement that makes the fly look like an insect that is moving on or above the surface of the water. The nature of that artificial bait is the first and most important element to understand when examining fly fishing basics.

Another aspect of fly fishing basics, an aspect that separates fly fishing from most other variations of fishing, is the way the line is cast. Other kinds of fishing rely on casting a line and attracting fish with the bait, but fly fishing requires a much more skillful method of luring the fish. A fly fisherman casts his lure toward the fish and uses rhythmic movements to make the lure fly above the water, skimming the top, or even diving under the surface, all in an effort to replicate the movements of an insect that might entice a hungry fish to strike.

If you understand fly fishing basics, you might wonder what you need to give it a try. Fly fishermen usually use rods that are longer and lighter than typical fishing rods. The reel used is typically quite simple because it is generally used only to retrieve the hook and lure - and hopefully a fish! Before casting, fly fishermen usually create slack in the line by pulling some from the reel. That slack allows the lure to fly freely to the targeted area. Choosing the proper lure is another aspect of fly fishing basics that one should understand before setting off to cast their line.

Fly fishing implies that the lure is intended to resemble the characteristics of flies, but fly fishing is hardly limited to that. The sport has evolved in recent years, and many fly fishermen now choose lures and casting techniques that mimic the primary prey of the fish they are attempting to catch. However, specific baits and the eating characteristics of various species of fish are beyond the realm of fly fishing basics.

An understanding of fly fishing basics is not enough to prepare one to head off to the nearest lake or stream. If you are interested in expanding your knowledge, or trying fly fishing yourself, spend some time reading on the subject, and if possible seek the tutelage of an experienced fly fisherman. Only then can you begin to understand more than fly fishing basics, such as specific recommendations on rods, reels, line weight, lures, and most important, the great places where fly fisherman must make a pilgrimage.

Fly Fishing for Dummies

Clueless about fly fishing?
Me too!
I have been really curious about this sport for some time now. I've seen it done countless of times.

Tried it. Failed.

People have endlessly and tirelessly, with their utmost patience and understanding tried to rub off some fly fishing skills on me - but to no avail.

I have resorted to reading, for now. I decided that whatever I can't do, I might as well LEARN - even just in theory. It helps. I think of my self right now as "A work in progress".

Let's all learn the basics. DEFINITION OF TERMS!
A brief definition about some terms I need to know about fly fishing.

What is Fly Fishing?
Fly fishing is an ancient and distinct angling method, developed primarily for salmonids (trout and salmon, mostly) and now extended to other species such as pike, bass, and carp, as well as a wide range of salt water species.

Fly casting is gripping or holding a fly rod correctly and to adopt the correct stance to maintain comfort and balance. The most basic rule to casting is based on the way a clock looks. Your head points straight up to 12:00, your cast (the tip of your rod) should go back to 10:00 and then forward to 2:00, releasing your line at the end of the forward motion. It is a common mistake to dip the rod below those two positions and almost always ends in a line tangle!

Angler. (Does that have anything to do with Math? I hate Math!)
That would be YOU silly! Someday, IF you learn how to fly fish, you will be called an angler. A person catching fish or shellfish with no intent to sell, this includes people keeping the catch or people that practice the "Catch and Release" method (highly recommended).

The Essentials - If you don't have a complete list of these, you're NOT Fly Fishing!

Fly Fishing rods are long, thin, flexible rods sometimes made of bamboo, but more recently from man-made materials. Fly rods tend to have large diameter eyes (or guides) spaced along the rod to help control the movement of relatively thick fly line. To aid in the freedom of movement required to skillfully cast with a fly rod, there is usually little to no butt (handle) extending below the fishing reel. Although fly rods are mainly used for casting from fixed positions, they can also be used for trolling for fish.

Fishing Reel is a device used for the deployment and retrieval of fishing line using a spool mounted on an axle. They are used in conjunction with the fly rod and are attached to the base or handle of the rod.

Fishing line is any cord made for fishing. Important parameters of a fishing line are its length, material, and weight (thicker, sturdier lines are more visible to fish). The refractive index is also important—lines with a refractive index similar to water are almost invisible to fish. The most important parameter in deciding what line to use is its strength. This is the amount of weight the line can hold before snapping. One must balance the trade-off between strength and visibility.

Flies as Bait? Are you kidding?
Flies or Artificial flies are constructed — "tied" onto a hook with thread, fur, feathers and other materials — in sizes and colors to match naturally occurring food or simply to excite a fish. And to add more confusion, the names of flies: Wet and dry flies, nymphs, scuds, eggs, streamers, steelheads, bass flies, salmon flies,and saltwater flies.

You will be considered a well equipped fly fisher if you bring waders, wading boots, vest net, polarized sunglasses to protect your eyes and see through the reflection on the water, a hat for the harsh sun, sun block and bug dope (bug repellant) - if you don't want to be eaten alive by bugs before you even catch a fish!

Armed with the stuff I read, I went about to experience Fly Fishing without even going near a body of water.

Wondering how?

White River Fly Fishing

Forget The Recession, Lets Go Fishing

Here's my top 5 Western States, spring "Bait Fishing holes" for Trout.

I'm not a fancy fly fisherman; I've tried it and just can't get the knack. I like to sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings while I fish. I also like to keep and eat what I catch.

I based my top spots on these factors; great fishing, great views and the ease of getting there.

So here goes;

Owyhee River.

Spring Fishing (before April), on the Owyhee River, in Southern Oregon is fantastic. This 10-mile stretch of river below the Owyhee Dam is just 30 miles from my home in Ontario, Oregon, or about 80 miles out of Boise. So here's a little local knowledge.

You may be saying, "This is a famous Fly Fishing spot"? Yes it is a favorite "Trophy Brown Trout" haunt for Fly Fishermen, but here's a little known secret, it is also open to "Bait Fishermen" and a skilled fisherman with bait can land more of these big Browns than the fly fishermen.

 This river has a rustic beauty all it's own, especially in early spring when the sparkling white snow still clinging to the valleys and hillsides. The river is low and slow this time of year and you can easily see the monster Browns rising for the bugs floating on the surface. There are hundreds of these Browns in every hole. You can easily catch a huge Brown Trout here, ranging from 2 lbs to 20 lbs and Rainbows 20 inches up.

Be advised you must immediately return the huge Browns to the river, but you can keep and eat any Rainbow Trout or Bass you catch. This is why there are so many monster Browns in these holes, they never leave the river; they just get bigger and smarter.

Legal "Bait Fishing" is allowed here, but you must have a thick skin, as you will get looks from the purest (Fly Guys) as they pass.  This river is very clean and free of the Lead Poisons prevalent throughout the Western Rivers, so you can safely eat the red meated Rainbows and the occasional Bass.

You can easily drive in and camp, right beside the river, free of charge. Be sure to pack out all you bring in and keep it clean. Just set up your chairs and do some relaxing "Bait Fishing" or you can put on your waders and chase the Browns up and down the river. Wading is simple along this shallow easily accessible river.

Bring your four-wheeler or canoe and easily traverse the long winding riverbanks. Make sure you pack a lunch and have plenty of bait, as the nearest store is 10 to 15 miles away.

Tip; try a Night Crawler and Split Shot, drifted in the current.

Horsethief Reservoir:

 In late spring try Horsethief Reservoir, just 10 miles above Cascade, Idaho.

This little lake is my favorite spot, spring, summer or fall. In the springtime, (Late April) right after "Ice-Off", the trout fishing is amazing. You can limit out in a hour with catch-able Rainbows from 8 to 14 inches, with the occasional 20 incher.

But that's not all, let me tell you a true story; In the early summer my friend, Scotty, and I, went to Horsethief for a day trip, traveling out of Cascade, where I was living. We set up right beside the Dam, our usual spot.

While lounging on a grassy bank, beside the pristine clear blue water lake, I was looking out at the tree lined far shoreline. Suddenly, a rush of waves and a dark blur in the water at my feet startled me. It took me a few minutes for me to realize that it was an Otter, rushing in to steal my stringer of fish. Sure enough the Otter had swiftly rushed in and stole my metal stringer and the five Rainbows caught that morning.

After calming down, I looked out across the lake and to my amazement, not 50 yards out, was an entire family of Otters frolicking and happily munching on our mornings catch. I've always wondered, "Was it legal to catch another five fish"?

A little later on, my friend Scotty was busy chasing a wild ring necked duck away from his tackle box, the duck kept trying to steal his bait. The ringed necked duck just wouldn't go away, he hung around all day, might have been because I tossed him tidbits every once in awhile.

We settled back down and caught a few more "Bows". I had replaced my stringer, making sure to tie it tight. I then laid back and was gazing up at a pair of Osprey's floating above us in the blue cloudless sky.

I was just slipping off for a nap when the water ten feet in front of us exploded, spraying both Scotty and me with water. An Osprey had dived into the lake, right in front of us, arose and flew away with a nice trout grasped tightly in its talons.

It was a special "wildlife day" that morning, and the experience was really unforgettable. Nature's at it's best is usually there every time I visit this wonderful lake. I've seen Deer, Elk, Moose and even a white Wolf at this high mountain retreat. This great fishing hole is easy to get to and sports many lakeside campgrounds. It has majestic scenery and the fishing is peaceful, quite and fruitful.

Tip; use Rainbow Power Bait, a small slip weight and a No.14 gold treble.

June Lake "Opening Day"

You'll find it in the High Sierras 50 Miles north of Bishop, CA.

"Opening Day" is the last Saturday in April. When I lived in Southern California, we never missed an opening day in the Sierras. We loved the excitement of the moment as thousands of California fishermen rushed to stake out their favorite holes.

June Lake is one of these opening day hotspots. It's another gorgeous high mountain lake with crystal clear water and forested banks. On "Opening Day" June Lake's Rainbows are huge, ranging from 12 to 30 inches. I've caught 6 to 8lb lunkers from shore on opening day.  

One opening weekend a group of us went up a day early to stake out our favorite spot, the park at the south end of the lake. In order to beat the crowds to this spot we slept out on the park grass next to our set up chairs. This was working out well except for the cold, April in the High Sierras brings below freezing weather at night. We were hiding down deep in our bags when the park sprinklers came on, washing us out and back to our camper to dry off and warm up. All except my son Joshua, he was sleeping in a waterproof down army mummy-bag. He slept through the entire watering and when we went back out we saw a solid sheet of ice over his entire bag, but he said he was warm inside.

That morning when the flare went off, we had our spot and began to fish. We caught several lunkers of 5 to 8 pounds. We entered them into the lakes fishing derby, but the contest winner for the day was over 10 pounds.

Tip; Try a slow retrieve with a white marshmallow on a No.12 treble with split shot.

Blue Mesa Reservoir

Near Gunnison, Colorado; at the South end under the highway bridge, in May.

May is absolutely a great time to fish this lake; if you're a shore fisherman you'll love the spot under the bridge at the Gunnison end near the rivers inlet. I've caught my limit of large Rainbows every time I've fished it in May.  Occasionally a shore fisherman ties into one of the huge Lake Trout inhabiting this lake, they can go up to 50 pounds.

My son Jeremy at 7 years old, caught a 4lb Rainbow under this bridge with a child's fishing pole, he brought it in all by himself.

In May and late summer, you can drive right up to the bridge along an access road cutting off the highway, but don't try it in June. In June the rains make the road a bog, I know, it cost me $100 to get towed out. You still can get there in June, just park off the highway and climb down the rocky side of the bridge.

Toss out green or rainbow Power-Bait next to the bridge pylons and wait. Watch your poll they hit hard.

Eleven-Mile Canyon

You'll find this canyon 70 miles west of Colorado Springs on the Upper Platte River.

This stretch of canyon is breathtaking; the river winds eleven miles up through the canyon until it ends at the Dam at Eleven Mile Reservoir.  This stretch of river is so beautiful that my wife and I have decided to have our ashes placed in these waters when we go to that fishing hole in the sky.

There is plenty of "drive in camp spots" along the river. The fish are usually smaller pan-sized Trout, but are plentiful and then there is that occasional lunker. You can also catch monster 40" pike that roam these waters.

What I like most about fishing these waters is that on a warm spring day you can hop over to one of the mammoth rocks in the river and drift a "Colorado Orange Indicator" and meal worm along the current and watch it drift for a 100 yards or until you get a strike.

When my youngest son, Jeremy, was a tot, I would tie a rope to his life vest and then around my waist. Off we would go rock hopping and fishing all day long.

All the waters in this general area are great in the spring, but if you've never visited the Platte River in Eleven Mile Canyon you're missing something special.

So forget about this recession, go fishing.

Fly Fishing Outfitters

taking guns into Canada?

Six of us are going to Canada in mid September for a 4 day fly-in fishing trip. Our outfitter has told us that we are very likely to see quite a few moose on our trip. My question is this...as a precautionary measure I would like to a take a my brush rifle along just in case we do encounter an animal with ideas of his own where our well being is concerned. What exactly do I have to do to bring my rifle along? We will be driving in from the US. I found a pice of info saying that I have to declare my gun at my first point of entry, fill out a non-resident form and pay $50.00 dollars? IS this true, is it really that simple, am I likely to be hassled about bringing a gun and, maybe first of all, am I allowed to period?

Yes you can. I took a rifle & a shotgun on a combo hunt a few years ago.You must fill out the form needed. You can get them on line. Then you must stop at point of entry & an officer will check your gun after you pay your money. They will give you a peice of paper to show you did this then your good to go! But i would say if you use that gun & have no hunting licence & or permits & or out of season . YOU MAY BE IN A REAL HARD SPOT!

Land The Big One - Fly Fishing Tip

Fishing is meant to be a relaxing day spent on the river trying to hook the one your buddies will envy. As a first time fisher the tricks of the hobby can seem a bit overwhelming. Knowing the best tools to use is just as important as where the best fishing spot is. The equipment can get expensive if you rush out and buy everything fishing related. A good fly fishing tip to remember is fly fishing means just that, using the perfect flies as well as the correct rod and reel to hook the big one.

There are numerous videos and television shows to view that will teach you tricks and tips of the experts. If you cannot seem to get the hang of the perfect technique spend the day watching the pros or make a visit to the library for a book with detailed information.

The artificial flies are used to attract the fish and come in different varieties. These colorful little fish catchers are colorful and created to mimic insects that fish eat. The fly is basically designed in two different types. The dry and the submerged. A dry fly is designed to float on the surface tricking the fish into thinking it has recently landed. A submerged style is heavy enough to go beneath the water to look like drowned insects or aquatic insects in there early stages.

If you have intentions of spending many years at the local water source the rod you choose should be one that is made to last. This requires spending time in the sports department. Do not grab the first rod that gets your attention, it is important to hold it and get a feel for the weight and length. They vary in price from a few dollars to a weeks pay, so the rod you opt for should be within your budget and one you are comfortable holding.

Second in line for importance is the reel. If you purchase your fishing equipment at a department store, some rods and reels are pared up and packaged as a set. This is fine if you only intend to use the equipment a couple of times. For long term dependable equipment, you should choose them separately. Most combination packaged items are not made for long term use which is why the price is significantly lower than purchasing top quality brands separately.

The purpose of the reel is to hold the fishing line and will vary in its ability to avoid tangling of line and quickness for pulling in the fish. A smooth drag reel system is the perfect choice for catching salmon or large trout. An arbor reel will give you the availability of reeling in a larger amount of line with each turn. The more line you can reel the easier it is to pull them in without a long fight with the fish. If you can find a reel compatible to interchangeable spools this will allow you to switch lines without switching reels.

Now that you have chosen the rod and reel of your dreams it is time to get the fishing line. The line will play a large part in how you cast as well as how you reel in. The line should be heavy enough to cast smooth and reel in with snapping. Choosing a light weight is not the best to use for a good cast. It can droop, snap and be more difficult to reel than the heavier line.

One final fly fishing tip is how to cast. Your casting style will become an important part of catching or not catching. While casting out it should be a straight shot, do not jerk and keep it as smooth as possible. For practice before going to the river, make a target on a flat surface in a large area and continue casting until you have your body and line relaxed enough to hit the target.

Pike Fly Fishing

Tips on Fly Fishing for Pike

Pike are toothy fish found in reservoirs, lakes, and various rivers around the country.  They are very strong fighters and look ugly and ferocious.  If you plan on fly fishing for pike, there are a few things you need to know.  This article will give you a few tips to get you started.

Season

First and foremost, you will need to know the best time to catch these fish.  You want to time your trip when they move from deeper water into the shallows.  They do this in the early spring months, usually in May or June.  They prefer feeding and spawning in these shallow waters, so it's easier for you to get to them then.

Location

You'll also want to know where the pike are likely to be in the water.  Most of the time, you'll find them near reefs, logs, and weeds.  They are also found in shallow bays or near stream flow.  They can be hard to spot since they can blend in with their background.  You may have success casting your fly into cloudy water.

Rod Strength

When fly fishing for pike, it's important that you use a strong enough fly rod.  They are quite strong and will put up a big fight.  Also, the ideal flies to use to lure these fish are pretty big.  It's best to use at least an 8-weight fly rod.  A 10-weight rod is better, especially when fishing in waters with larger pike.

Flies

These fish will strike virtually anything that comes near them as they are ambush eaters.  This means that you can use a wide assortment of flies to lure them.  If what you're using isn't working, then you can just try something else in your box.  Different fish only like certain types of bait.

Steelhead Fly Fishing

Choosing a Fly Fishing Rod

When you choose a fly fishing rod, you will have to use an industry standard system that specifies weight. Fly fishing rods are not weighed in grams. Instead, a 1 to 14 number system is used. It’s quite easy to determine the optimum weight of your rod by basing it on the size and species of fish that you plan to catch.

A basic guide that will assist you in choosing the proper fly rod is: Lower weight, small fish; higher weight, larger fish. Secondary factors include personal preference and weather conditions. Light fly rods do not cast well if the wind is strong.

Species and Weight Guide

• Weight 1to 3 – pan fish, small trout and other small fish species.

• Weight 4 – small fish species of all kinds.

• Weight 5 to 6 – small bass and medium-sized trout.

• Weight 7 to 8 – large bass, large trout, steelhead and salmon.

• Weight 9 to 14 – muskie, tarpon, large salmon and large saltwater fish species.

Always choose a line and reel that have the identical rod weight that you have chosen.

Beginners should use a 3 to 5 weight rod when fishing streams. If you are fishing for bass, a 5 to 6 weight rod is best. Saltwater species and freshwater salmon require a rod that is 7 to 8 weight.

Length

Common lengths for fly fishing rods are 7, 8 and 9 feet. Use short rods for short casts in areas that are surrounded by brush, trees or shrubs. If fishing in an open area where longer casts are possible, choose a longer fly fishing rod. If you plan to fish in lakes or rivers, choose a rod of 4 to 6 weight that is 8 to 9 feet long and use a medium action rod for the best results.

Steelhead Fly Fishing

There is no doubt that the best fly fishing rod material is good bamboo properly selected, cured, split, glued, and correctly proportioned. It possesses strength combined with lightness, resiliency, pliancy, power and balance in greater degree than either steel or solid woods.

The majority of fly fishing rods that are constructed these days are made from Tonkin. Although back in the day there were a bunch that were made from Calcutta cane, which is harder to come by now in our present time.

Out of all the types of bamboo that are used to make a fly rod, it is said that the male Calcutta cane is the best. If you can not afford the best, then you could get a fly rod that is made from African cane. These kinds of bamboo fly rods are great and you will not go broke trying to buy one.

When a bamboo rod is being put together, the bamboo is split into sections and then it is glued together. The sections of bamboo will be split into either 6 or 8 sections. You will see that the 6 split section is more common than the 8 split section though.

Some makers claim that the eight strip, being more nearly a true cylinder, possesses better action but this seems to be more theoretical than practical, while the tiny tips of an eight strip rod are likely to be soft due to the comparative amount of glue necessary to hold the pieces together.

Eight strip rods are more expensive than the six strip fly fishing rods, and if the angler wants a round bamboo fly fishing rod they are preferable to the six strip planed down as planning certainly must injure a rod. As a general rule a well-made six strip rod leaves little to be desired.

A novelty in bamboo fly fishing rod making is what is known as the double built rods which are made of two layers of split and glued bamboo, one within the other. They are heavier and strong, and it is claimed, hold their shape better, than ordinary fly fishing rods.

Another type of bamboo rod is one that has steel as a center layer, and the outer layer would be made out of bamboo. These are thought to be the best constructed bamboo rods as it gives them excellent casting ability, which is a necessity when it comes to fly fishing.
