Report: For Bucksaws2:
There are so many variables on setups for fly fishing. From water flow to time of year to species targeted, but it doesnt have to be confusing: Here is a general starting point.
10 foot 7 wt rod(you decide how much you want to spend)
Good reel with disc drag, again they range from $50-500
Weight forward floating flyline
leader cust back to 5 feet
tippet 3 feet
flies: egg immitations, stone fly immitations, minnow immitations, small natural nymphs, and the bright colorful attractor flies (cohos seem to like these the most)
How to attack the river: you should send me an email for a lengthier discussion on this. Each pool, run, species call for a different tactic, sometimes requiring a change. I'd be happy to discuss how I move around the river, and take different approaches to slay them each year. Catch and release for me though!
