Fly Selection
Fly fishing outfit selections help?
being new to the sport ive set my budget to £250 , what rod reel and line combinations would you reccommend? im looking at small river angling
In his book “Complete Guide to Fly fishing” (and others in the series), John Bailey recommends a 5/6AFTM rated fly rod as a good all round fly rod to start off with… some other books usually seem to recommend a 6/7, but as you’re looking at small river angling I’d go with the 5/6
http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wormdanglecou-21/detail/1847730787
(it’s a good read, as is “Complete guide to freshwater fishing”).
So, going on that, here’s my recommended picks:
Rod….
Shakespeare TRION 9ft #5/6 – £44
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fishing-rods-(including-kits-and-combos)/trout-fly-fishing-rods/0/shakespeare/5953/
though the Shakespeare Xcede Fly Fishing Rod 9ft 6in 6/7 @ £22 is quite good for the money.
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fishing-rods-(including-kits-and-combos)/trout-fly-fishing-rods/0/shakespeare/5085/
Reel…. not that important, since only there to provide somewhere to put your line when you ain’t using it, so…
The “Shakespeare Summit” (2684/000) at £17 is a stylish, well finished piece of kit (which is what I use myself)
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fishing-reels/trout-fly-fishing-reels/0/shakespeare/760/
Backing line isn’t too important, so Mullarkey’s own brand stuff should do just fine:
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fly-fishing-lines-and-backing/backing/0/mullarkeys/2937/
The fly line is important, though… for that I’d suggest a WFF (Weight Forward Floating), which is supposed to be one of the most “beginner friendly” types available…. a #5 on one spool, a #6 on the other.
Cortland 444 is supposed to be one of the best (£40)
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fly-fishing-lines-and-backing/fly-lines/0/cortland/3698/
Total cost = £102.25 – £142.25 (depending on whether or not you get both weights of fly line)… leaving plenty leftover for accessories such as landing net, forceps, flies, leader material, polarised sunglasses to protect your eyes, etc.
