Thread: Learning to Fly Fish

Once youv been fly fishing a while using cheap gear,treat your self to a nice 6wt sage fly rod and reel.Best floating fly line that matchs yr fly rod action.Your fishing will change,less effort on the casting arm and better presentation on the water.
Years ago i had 2x5wts Sages SPs and 2x7wt Sages Sps for the nor west winds.Clients loved them if they didnt bring their own rods along.The rods were 4 piece,medium action and could handle good size fish or make a nice presentation to a spooky fish.After walking many 1000s of ks on the river beds 18yrs later,my knees told me to give guiding up and sell all my rods and reels.Sad to see all my good gear go.Still got my very 1st personal sage 2 piece 6wt tip action.i brought it in 1988 for $680.Its got some horse power but still gives a nice presenting on a small stream.Its landed a 13 lb brown no problem at all.
Any how theres some good advice on here from others,just depends how you want to spend yr dollers.Join a fly fishing club and hire a guide for a couple of half days,easier of the pocket in the long term.
