Tackle Guide - Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is regarded by its devotees as the pinnacle of all the angling skills and disciplines. It certainly requires more than a measure of skill when it comes to casting, for the only weight is that of the line itself.

The art comes in persuading the quarry, usually a trout or salmon to take an artificial fly created from fur, feather and tinsel to represent their natural food. The resultant battle is invariably breathtaking as the angler fights a fish that will run hard and jump high in its efforts to escape. With no gearing in the fly reel to give the angler a technical advantage, the fight is direct between angler and fish.

Below, you will find links which should explain what tackle is required to fly-fish effectively. They should also help you understand how different conditions require different tackle and assist you in making the right choice should you decide to part with your hard earned money.
