Members Mbrown2858 Posted June 4, 2014 Members Posted June 4, 2014 I was wanting to get into fly fishing Taney. What kind of equipment are you guys using? Or may recommend?
Members Matt Madura Posted June 4, 2014 Members Posted June 4, 2014 This is pandoras box. I would suggest estabishing a budget for your intial costs. Rod, Reel, Waders, pack/vest, flys, flybox etc.. For Taney, almost any rod would do, but something I wouldn't skimp on is waders, I'd really recommend Simms brand waders, they have options for most budgets. Second, is a rod, for entry level, I'd go with a 5 or 6wt, TFO (Temple Fork) makes some great stuff and combo packages, (rod reel included). Lines, I'd stick with Rio, Scientific Anglers or AirFlow. I'm sure a lot of people would agree, hire a guide!!! Let them show you the in's and out's so you're not creating bad habits or get too frustrated. Be honest with your guide, ask tons of questions and really engage whoever you're hiring. Learn the knots and how to properly set up a fly rig before you worry about what fly to use, and learn simple casting, single haul and roll cast, once your get these down, you can fish anywhere around here. Good luck!

Micheal Kyle Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I agree 100% with MATT " MADDOG" MADURA. The only thing I would change up is the selection of the wader boots and go with the Cloudveil. What are your thoughts MATT To Know People Is To Know Thier Ways!
