I've fished for a large number of years, mostly for panfish, using a
standard casting combination; however, fly fishing looks quite intriguing.
During my investigation of equipment, I've gotten quite confused with the
different specifications for line weights, reels, leaders, flys, etc. Can
anyone give me an idea of where to start.
I want to fish some of the smaller lakes and ponds, from shore, for
panfish. Primarily bluegill, crappie, etc. From what I've read, perhaps 5
weight or 6 weight would work for me, and I understand that weight-forward
line is better than single weight, or that double taper is the best ...
whatever that is. Also, what type of reel? Single, multiplier, etc? I
don't want to spend a lot of money. It will be just something to do on
the weekend with my son.
Also, if there are any recommended online stores from which to buy, that
would be good too.
Your input is greatly appreciated!!!
Paul
