Buying a Fly Rod

So you're ready to put down some bucks for a new fly rod. The question is, what should you get and what should you look for. The fly rod is the most important piece of equipment that you'll own to go fly fishing. For some guidelines to buy a decent piece of equipment, read on:
• Expect to pay a reasonable price for your rod. You don't have to blow the bank, but a well-made rod will run you at least $100 to $500 dollars.
• Get a rod based on the type of fishing you're planning on doing. Are you planning on spending your time in the middle of a big lake or by a river or stream?
• Test, test, and test some more. You need to try out the rod to see how it casts and whether it's compatible with your body mechanics. Some rods have a slow and flexible rod action. Some rods are stiff with a fast rod action.

Destination Fly Fishing

If you love fly fishing, but are tired of casting your line at the same old spot, why not plan your next fishing trip at an exotic locale? Try Mexico's Ascension Bay where you can enjoy lodging in a thatched cabana and the excitement of fly fishing for bonefish. Or travel to the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia and take a raft down the river in search of rainbow trout.

Choosing the Right Wader

You don't want to be left on the side of the river bank with a pair of waders that just couldn't keep the water out. Spend the time to pick out the right pair to keep you high and dry when you go fly fishing. Here's how:
• First decide where you're going to fish and what kind of climate you'll be in.
• Then you can consider what kind of material is best for you. Neoprene is popular because it's durable and you can select the best thickness to suit your needs. Thicker is best for cold weather. Thinner is best for warmer weather and freedom of movement. Nylon works well for the beginner fly fisherman. They're lightweight and will keep you warm, but they'll also keep the heat in too. Rubber is more affordable, but keep in mind that they're heavier and trap the heat in.
• Next on the list is getting a proper fit. Though it might look better to have on a snugger fit for those trophy photos, you want to get a pair of waders that are looser. That way, you can dress accordingly underneath your waders for the climate. You also want to make sure that you get a pair that doesn't restrict your movement. Remember, that a proper fitting wader is important so that you're comfortable and unhindered. You don't want any fishing attire that will contribute to a slip or wading mishap.

So Many Fish, So Little Time

Fly fishing isn't just for trout. Go saltwater fly fishing and you can catch some bonefish. Go warm water fishing and you can struggle with the massive muskie and its razor sharp teeth. If you're a salmon lover, head for cold water areas. Or, if you're an angler who likes variety, go international. The Baja is famous for schools of dolphin, marlin, and yellow fin tuna.
