Tips On Fly Fishing
#2
[quote huongphu1467]

1. Material of the rod

For one of moderate means, and especially for the beginners, hollow glass is advised since it will require less care than bamboo and will not take a set if improperly handled or stored.

2. Line

Your fly casting skill will not progress with a mismatched rod and line. About 99 times in 100, the troubled fly caster has a line much too light to bring out the action of his rod.

That is why it is important to know that on any given rod, the fly fisherman should use the same size line for anything from small trout and bluegills up to the largest sea fish.

In choosing the size line, anglers should get a C level, an HCH double-taper, or a GBF three-diameter. This choice is based on the fact that a high percentage of fly rods bought nowadays are hollow glass, and that a great majority of these works best with lines of those sizes, almost regardless of lengths or weights.

Lessons learned on the stream are the best tips you can acquire anywhere in your quest for learning fly fishing.[/quote]

Hollow glass, HCH double taper, high percentage of fly rods nowadays are hollow glass?
What happened to graphite rods and WF5 Sharkskin? Must have been just a dream!
