Whenever someone is thinking of taking up fly fishing the first thing to consider is what gear is needed. Honestly there really is not that much needed to get started. It can be much more difficult to find someplace to fish than it is to get the gear to fish with. The classic mistake beginners often make is running out and buying too much expensive gear and then trying to fish in the wrong places. In this post we can take a look at the basic essentials needed to become a fly fisherman.

Once the pan fish were off the bed I checked with my local wildlife enforcement agency and they told me all about the trout stocking program at the state park in my back door. This gave me a few months to practice my steeple cast, and by the date of the stocking I was ready for some fun. 
Being a bass fisherman at heart, I will never turn away from bait casters and spinning reels, but there is something to be said about fly fishing. It brings serenity and peace to the soul and spirit like nothing I have ever experienced. And in the winter months, the running water and cold air are completely invigorating. In the spring while the bass are spawning I go back to the fly rod for pan fish to fill the void. The Recreational Value Of Fishing
