FLY RODS

Fly fishing is so much Fun!

How to Choose a Fly Fishing Rod

Let’s cover how to choose a fly rod for the different types of fly fishing you may encounter. I feel a logical way to choose the best fly rod for the type fly fishing you plan to do is to follow this layout; (1) determine the fly size you will be using for the fish you are targeting. Once you know the fly sizes you will be using for the type of fly fishing you will be doing, you can accurately determine the (2) size of the fly line which will cast these flies. Armed with this information you can now (3) choose the proper fly rod for the fly fishing you plan to do. Keep in mind that the overhead canopy will govern the fly rod length. This is my personal approach and it has never let me down.
