Members Watcher Posted January 7, 2006 Members Posted January 7, 2006 The guys here have gave you some great tips for saving $$, and equipment. I would like to warn you like Moose did on saving the money on Fly Line. If you are fishing big fast water for trout and need to shoot the line a long distance, or if you fish small slower streams for bass you will need at least two different types of line. Cortland 555® Floating Fly Line Advanced "Barrier Construction Technology" creates an easy-handling line that needs no dressing, requires minimal cleaning, and sheds water easily. Hollow mono core; precision long-distance taper; slick finish for excellent shoot ability presentation of line. It can be used in many different types of fishing in this area, cost $60.00. A good rod for this is the Dogwood Canyon Fly Rods Designed specifically to help introductory fly anglers. Dogwood Canyon rods are forgiving as your skills improve. 4-through 6-weight rods feature western-style grip while 7- and 8-weight models come standard with Full Wells grip and removable fighting butt. Protective rod sock included 4-5#. Will surprise you when you feel how well balanced the kit is.$76.95-$80.95. Do some investigating and give some thought to the types of fishing your going to do. then be sure to get an extra spool for your reel for quick conditions changes. Leader line may be the key to getting strikes, a good line is Frog Hair Tippet Material is a true leap in technology, has great strength and abrasion resistance. $7.95. When you get started you will see why the whole set up work's in sink to make your abilities improve. Remember YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR and to make a fishing experience fun, don't wast time fighting with your tackle, you will only give up or have to buy more trying to fix problems. Next step is flies, waders, vest, strike indicators, OH! $$$$. LOL Good Luck
