Fly fishing outfit selections help?
being new to the sport ive set my budget to £250 , what rod reel and line combinations would you reccommend? im looking at small river angling
In his book “Complete Guide to Fly fishing” (and others in the series), John Bailey recommends a 5/6AFTM rated fly rod as a good all round fly rod to start off with… some other books usually seem to recommend a 6/7, but as you’re looking at small river angling I’d go with the 5/6
http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wormdanglecou-21/detail/1847730787
(it’s a good read, as is “Complete guide to freshwater fishing”).
So, going on that, here’s my recommended picks:
Rod….
Shakespeare TRION 9ft #5/6 – £44
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fishing-rods-(including-kits-and-combos)/trout-fly-fishing-rods/0/shakespeare/5953/
though the Shakespeare Xcede Fly Fishing Rod 9ft 6in 6/7 @ £22 is quite good for the money.
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fishing-rods-(including-kits-and-combos)/trout-fly-fishing-rods/0/shakespeare/5085/
Reel…. not that important, since only there to provide somewhere to put your line when you ain’t using it, so…
The “Shakespeare Summit” (2684/000) at £17 is a stylish, well finished piece of kit (which is what I use myself)
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fishing-reels/trout-fly-fishing-reels/0/shakespeare/760/
Backing line isn’t too important, so Mullarkey’s own brand stuff should do just fine:
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fly-fishing-lines-and-backing/backing/0/mullarkeys/2937/
The fly line is important, though… for that I’d suggest a WFF (Weight Forward Floating), which is supposed to be one of the most “beginner friendly” types available…. a #5 on one spool, a #6 on the other.
Cortland 444 is supposed to be one of the best (£40)
http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/fly-fishing-lines-and-backing/fly-lines/0/cortland/3698/
Total cost = £102.25 – £142.25 (depending on whether or not you get both weights of fly line)… leaving plenty leftover for accessories such as landing net, forceps, flies, leader material, polarised sunglasses to protect your eyes, etc.
What is the best rod and reel brands to buy for fresh water fishing?
I have not been fishing in about 10 years and want to get back into it. It has been so long and tomorrow I am going to the swap meet and they have lot of selections to buy there. What is a quality rod and reel brand name I can look out for while I am there?
They all make some good ones and some bad ones. You should ask a lot of questions when looking at stuff.
Need a good online company for getting good prices on fishing equipment. Rods, reels,ect.?
I am looking for sporting goods company’s that have the best deals on fishing and hunting equipment. Prefer some that have large selection and price range from inexpensive to prices that would really tick off the old lady. Like the song go’s, if I go fishing again she will leave me, and I am going to miss her!!

Here is some have at it.Just a few ha! ha!
fishing reels & rods?
Hi. can u list a selection of reels and rods in order for me from the best to buy to the worst and why please. as i am looking to spend my christmas money on fishing gear with out buying any rubbish. thank you. happy new year.x
fresh water. sorry forgot to mention.
You need to say what kind of fishing you intend doing because rods particularly vary enormously. Some are flexible, some are stiff. Some have their flexibility at the tip, others carry it all the way through. Do you intend fishing with a float, a leger/feeder or a lure? What kind/size of fish are you after?
My best advice is to go into a fishing shop and talk to them. In my experience they will sort you out with the best gear for the job at the price. It is very unusual indeed for fishing shops to rip you off. People who work in them love the sport and love to help others learn it too. They also have a reputation to maintain. Word of bum deals soon gets around. Good UK brands at sensible prices include Shakespeare, Ron Thompson and Leeda. For sensibly priced reels I recommend Okuma and Shimano. Some of their stuff is expensive but they also do very good entry level tackle.
Welcome to angling! One final bit of advice for you. It is really cold at the moment (no prizes for that observation)! If you want to have a good time at this time of year avoid getting cold. Wear lots and lots of layers of clothes when you go out, and make sure you have very warm footwear. Once you get cold I always think the day is ruined, because you can never get warm again.
Canadian fly fishing shops online?
Hey i want to find a online fishing shop with a good selection of fly fishing rods, reels and combos, ive tried cabelas (wont ship my rod) and wholesale sports (not a great selection) and im only left with bass pro shops, but if you have any other names that you have used but they need to ship to canada for cheap or preferably based in canada. Thanks
P.S i live on Vancouver Island if that helps
Don’t know it this helps, but I have dealt with a company called Hook and Hackle with good results. They stock almost anything you need for fly fishing at a reasonable price and are very customer service friendly.
