Fly fishing is a fun and interactive sport that gets you up close with nature. In this blog we are going to cover all the things a beginner should know in order to get started. Let's start off with the gear you need to get started. Emphasis on NEED because while there is plenty of high end and specialzied gear for more advaced fly fishermen everyone needs to start somewhere. You will need a fly rod, a dly reel, a fly line with backing, a leader and a tippet. And a few flies. When it comes to fly rods and reels for a beginner it's best to buy them as a combination from your favorite company, I reccommend checing out flywater.com. Once you get your rod assembled it's time to get out and cast! Find an open and somewhat seccluded body of water to practice. We reccommend you start off with an overhead cast. There are differnt kinds but it's best to learn the basics first. There are plenty of turtorials on YouTube to check out so we reccommend you do. Once you got casting down just keep practicing and keep fishing. Best of luck out there and have fun!
