yeah i just decided to get another 8wt… i don’t get tired casting all day and why not have the backbone

sorry i just found this forum first when i started looking at fly gear didn’t take into account it was a PNW site

Hello again. So I began my fly fishing journey recently and really like it. My birthday is coming up and I don’t really know what else to ask for so I will get another fly combo. My question is do I use my currently combo (8wt lift & liquid -7+) for light salt/ brackish (inshore/beach/brackish...

thank you everyone for the advice and input… will definitely look into everything… especially learning how to haul okay just to update everyone the two fly shops close to me specialize in saltwater lol, mostly tarpon and reds and i actually found out that orvis does free FLY101 lessons and im...

thanks! i actually already decided on a setup and just went for it, now to find someone to teach me how to cast and what to tie on/ throw got a battenkill click and echo lift

will look around, hopefully there’s someone local to me that’s willing to teach… i’m assuming if they are certified they have some sort of certificate? or make a day trip to one of the fly shops if they offer lessons

I did a quick search and found some, they are size 4… not sure what size of what to throw on the 7wt but i’m assuming yes. https://www.sierra.com/umpqua-mojo-minnow-steamer-fly-half-dozen~p~4dupg/?filterString=fishing-flies~d~11371%2F&merch=prod-rec-prod-prod4DUPG

Hello again! So I finally decided on a setup and just went for it (like everyone’s been saying), now onto the next step, where should I start? Streamers, dry, poppers? Also is there something I can throw to practice casting that has no hooks or do i just tape up the hook, heard it’s better to...

gotchu, may sign up when i get home to look around also would click pawl reels make sense for my fishing? i heard they are way simpler mechnically and can basically last a lifetime, plus found some orvis battenkill for 125 new

i heard they are great that’s what i originally wanted, but the whole foot thing got me on the remix, since the liquid if the foot breaks then the whole reel is done for… BUT idk how common that is… saw it somewhere and a lot of ppl were upvoting it edit: how do i get to the classifieds on here?

so i just called and the cheapest rod they have is like $250 lol and besides the liquid i think the cheapest reel they have is $300 they did say they would spool a reel for free if i bought the line there, which i expected, but it would definitely help a lot either i get my 6wt set up, save a...

So where i fish ponds and stuff most of the bass are small, maybe some 2-3lb, very very few in the 4-5 range… i’m assuming this is still okay on the 6wt, but i was also reading a bit more and i see like two sides to a coin… the ppl who pick rods more so on what they wanna catch vs people who...

and by care you mean rinse, wash, and dress? and i’m assuming you can tell the fly line is going bad when it starts to crack and what not? also thank you for your help so far, im going to see when i can make a trip to one of the fly shops and look around/ get help

edit: how long should i expect fly line to last, specifically the SA brand?

that is very true, but wouldn’t that also be in my favor maybe? if i get a 6wt now like you said, fall in love with the art of fly fishing and then get a 8wt dedicated salt combo… so now i can cover most bases of fly fishing also for the line, i see most ppl like SA, the only SA line i see...
