Fly Fishing Gears Buying Guide

What Is Fly Fishing?

Fly fishing is a unique style of fishing that uses a lightweight lure called a fly to attract fish. Unlike traditional fishing methods that rely on the weight of the bait or lure to cast.

Fly fishing uses the weight of the line itself to carry the nearly weightless fly to the target. The fly is typically made of feathers, thread, and other materials designed to mimic insects, small fish, or other food sources.

Essential Gear For Fly Fishing

Getting started in fly fishing doesn’t mean you have to buy a mountain of gear. But there are a few key items every fly angler should have.

Fly Rod: This is the backbone of your setup. Rods come in different weights (like 3wt, 5wt, 8wt) depending on the size of fish you’re targeting. A 5-weight rod is the most versatile for freshwater trout and panfish.
Fly Reel: The reel stores your line and helps fight fish. For trout and other smaller species, the reel’s drag isn’t as important, but for larger species (like bass, steelhead, or saltwater fish), a strong drag is crucial.
Fly Line: Unlike traditional fishing, the line provides the weight to cast the fly. Match the weight of your line to the weight of your rod. Fly lines come in different types—floating, sinking, or sink-tip—depending on how deep you want to fish.
Leader and Tippet: This is the nearly invisible section of line that connects your fly to your fly line. It’s usually made of monofilament or fluorocarbon and comes in different sizes. The “tippet” is the last bit you tie your fly to, and it gets replaced often.
Flies: These are your bait—small, lightweight lures designed to imitate insects, baitfish, or crustaceans. Common types: Dry Flies (float on water), Nymphs (sink and imitate aquatic insects), Streamers (imitate small fish or leeches), Poppers (used for bass or saltwater on the surface)
Waders and Boots: If you plan to fish in rivers or cold water, waders keep you dry. Pair them with comfortable wading boots for grip and ankle support.

What Is The Rule of 11 In Fly Fishing?

The "Rule of 11" helps you figure out the right leader length based on how far you want to cast. It’s simple: subtract your rod length (in feet) from 11. The result is a good starting point for your leader length.

For example, if you have a 9-foot fly rod:

11 - 9 = 2

That means a 9-foot rod pairs well with a 2-foot leader if you're making short casts. For longer casts or spooky fish, you'll want a longer leader. It’s not a hard rule, but a helpful guide for beginners learning line control.

Who Makes The Best Fly Fishing Gear?

Several brands are known for top-quality fly fishing gear. Orvis is one of the most trusted names, offering everything from beginner kits to high-end rods. Sage is known for precision and performance, especially in fly rods. Redington offers great value for anglers on a budget. Simms makes durable waders and clothing, while Rio and Scientific Anglers lead in fly lines and leaders.
