Fly Fishing Questions
I have recently decided to get into fly fishing but have some
questions, can anyone help? 1. Does the backing go on the reel first? And if so how much do you put on? 2. How long of pole should I use for rainbow trout fishing? 3. How long is the Tapered leader supposed to be? And how long is the tippet? 4. If the fly breaks off do I have to re-tie the whole leader or will it usually break in certain spots? 5. can i use the same leader/tippet on different sizes of flies?? Thanks so much |

Thanks so much I suggest that you stop by a shop that specializes in flyfishing and ask for advice. You can also check out the rack at a bigger book store or the public library for books on flyfishing. I make these suggestions based on the fact that your questions, though basic, and I'm certain, sincere, show not only lack of knowledge, but a misunderstanding of those basics. Do yourself a favor and seek guidance from an experienced individual before spending money on equipment. Mark |
