I have an assortment of baitcasting and spinning rods/reels that I use and I feel comfortable with them. I've swapped reels, lines, rods, etc. to find the right match. I don't really want to do that with fly rods. I understand the importance of having the right setup, it usually costs a bit more but it's worth it in the end. I imagine it's the same way with fly fishing.
I will probably end up with a[url "http://www.lamiglas.com/pf_fly.php"] Lamiglas fly rod[/url] so I could use some help on choosing a good one, 5wt preferably. Of course, like mentioned, I'll need a good line. I can't say money is not an issue but my main concern is quality and casting. I know nothing about the reels but what little time I have under my belt the reel just held the line and I would pull the line in when I had a fish.
From what I've wrote what would be the optimal setup?
Sinergy: Thank you for the invite, Herriman is just a few minutes from me. I need to learn the basics before I can justify hiring a guide so any help would be appreciated. I'll check my schedule and shoot you a pm.
What's up Joe. I'll see if I have your number. I've had big bass the last two years and angler of the year the last two years. Greg has Lou Gehrigs disease and only fished two early tourneys this year, he's lost the ability to move his arms now but he is still in good spirits. Sad to see such a great person and fisherman like that.
