Whay kind of fly tying equipment should I buy?

Posted on May 10, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

I am a long time fisherman, but I have recently gotten serious about fly fishing. I am going to start tying my own flies, and I need some info about what kind of equipment to buy.
I have looked at the starter kits, and generally read that the equipment included is of lower quality, and is not great if you want to be a serious fly tyer. What brand/type of equipment would you recommend to someone who wants it to last through years of use and increasing experience?

Price is important as I am a college student with limited resources. Thanks for the help.

Spinning Rods – Which to buy?

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

I have spent the last 20 using nothing but fly rods, so the last time I actually used a spinning setup, I really didn’t pay all that much attention to the rod types. I would like to get back into using spinning equipment from time to time.

I’d like to get two rods, which would be mostly used for river fishing for trout bass and bluegill, but also the occasional lake trip. So, if you were going out to purchase two rods for the above mentioned fishing, which length and action would you choose for each?

I appreciate any and all recommendations.

Thanks!!!!
