Minimal Gear Needed
In previous posts, I've gone over equipment, accessories, and more about fly fishing. Still, some beginner fly fishers may be wondering how to get started. Then ask themselves. What gear do I really need to go fly fishing and some catch fish? Well, you don't need every item from the fly shop to go fly fishing. Or for that matter, catch fish on the fly. With a few pieces of gear, you'll be on your way to enjoying your time fly fishing. And maybe catch a fish or two. Plus you won't even need waders and boots. Fly fishing can be done from the shore of a pond, or the edge of a river.
Gear List
- Rod
- Reel (spooled with backing and fly line)
