I'm starting fly fishing for the first time this year. Looks like so much fun! Anyone have any tips for me? Could use'em.

hey jag,

i like fly fishing more than regular fishing.

1st u dont need to buy an expensive fly rod and all that junk. go online or to wal-mart and buy a scientific angler kit. they're really good and its just as good as anything out there.

fly fishing kit, 9ft 5/6wt rod and floating fly line, all comes in the kit,its about $75. a must learn to cast. "the new fly fishing basics" best DVD out there. hope this helps you start off jag. dont let people make you think its an expensive sport.

[jaguarsphenom32]

Thank you that's what i bought and is there special kinds of flies for small mouth or are fly poppers good?

[spacefrogg5]

yes, there are a kagillian flies out there, but for something that works on smallies, use clousers (chartrues/white/red eyes are best) and wooly buggers (purple w/bead head are the best, then brown, black, & olive), but all colors will work. white foam spiders are good for surface. i'll try to make some videos on how to tie some smallmouth bass flies & post them if people are interested.

[jaguarsphenom32]

Alright im interested that'd be awesome cuz right now im clueless on what kind of flies to use

[bakerboy2222]

I have the 9ft 5/6wt Scientific Anglers pack and its an excellent rod for me to learn on; very forgiving, yet heavy enough to get things moving.

I'm looking at making the step up from a combo to a better rod specifically for bass in the lower price ranges and I'm looking at the Ross Flystik. Its 6 or 8 weight, mod/fast and 7'11". I'm not entering any tournaments, but accuracy is a big deal for me, bank fishing and coves from small boats.

Any input? I'm still pretty new to it.

@spacefrogg5 cool i was looking at the white river fly shop's dogwood canyon set. comes pre-assembled, do you think its a good buy? and what weight shouldi get?

[mikethesnipe1]

what are u trying to fly fish 4

[jaguarsphenom32]

I am fishing for smallmouth right now and if u have any for carp that would be cool

[rcjimenez81]

what kind of fly were you using

[crazymexicanomg]

somedude down there said it was a clouser

[MPpostino]

cool, yea i agree that the price of the rod does not make it good. I have not built a rod before, how hard is it to do.

[MPpostino]

by the way what weight rod were you using?

[spacefrogg5]

i'm using a 6wt 9ft med-fast st croix fly rod, but i usually use a home made fly rod and catch tons. just goes to show you don't always need an $800 fly rod. a $40 pacbay blank from ebay is just as good. basically it comes down to the casting and the rewards of catching fish on homemade stuff.

[albertsoccer23]

how do you make a fly rod?

[MPpostino]

nice video. I love bass on flies!

[und3rth3bridg3]
