om...
I am starting up my list (Christmas is coming) for the Western Clave
and I was wondering what is suggested for things like?

1) Fly rods
2) Secret Leader formulas sizes etc.
3) Flies
4) Fly lines
5) Wading shoe soles (I have felt, do we need studs too?)
6) Any other suggestions of equipment & supplies?

PS I found a pretty good fly fishing checklist on the web at:

Chris,

Sorry for the sarcasm. Just a bit of fun.

Fly Rods: 4 or 5 wt, 9 footer for your primary rod. If you've got a 6 wt,
you might bring it for windy days. Oh, and bring your 3 wt for the little
streams.

No secret leaders as far as I know.

Flies: Might I suggest: EHC's, Parachute Adams, Royal Wulffs, Stimulators,
Beetles, PMDs, Pheasant Tails (in all their varieties and variations), and
little brown mohair streamers.

Fly lines: No need for sinkers or sink tips.

Felts are fine

Other supplies: Sunglasses, ice, beer, a well tuned BFS is a must, one nice
bottle of wine, waders, and a vest to hold your stuff so it all gets wet at
once.

Looking forward to helping you with the wine....
