Fly fishing is a great outdoor sport where you use a special rod with an artificial fly attached to the end to catch fish. The artificial fly is made to resemble the fish's natural food source. Learning how to fly fish takes practice and persistence. There are professional fly fishing tournaments you can join when you improve your skill. The competitive edge of this sport is enticing to many fishermen. A really good fly fisherman can win cash prizes by entering a fly fishing tournament. Experiencing the great outdoors while fly fishing is a great way to relax and enjoy yourself.
Fly fishing supplies include rod, reels and fishing line. If you are a beginner, you can start out with basic fly fishing equipment. There are specific fishing lines for different fish. As a beginner fly fisherman, you can choose to fly fish in either freshwater or saltwater. The fishing equipment needed will also depend on the type of fish you want to catch. Fly fisherman who fish cold freshwater lakes and streams usually choose salmon and trout.
They can also fish for walleye, pike and perch. Fly fishermen who fish in warm freshwater usually choose catfish, bass and chub fish. Saltwater fly fishermen choose to fish for halibut, marlin and shark. A popular fish called the rainbow trout is a favorite among fly fisherman because of their beauty and fighting spirit. Trout usually feed at the bottom of lakes and rivers.
The preferred method by most fly fisherman is to add weights to the fly in order to sink it to the bottom. This technique is called wet fly fishing. Fly fishing while kayaking has increased in popularity over the past few years. You cast your line from the sitting position instead of putting on waders and venturing out into the stream. If you decide to fly fish while you are kayaking, there are some safety precautions you should follow.
Don't fly fish in extremely cold water. When you are in a kayak, you should always assume you may go overboard. Freezing temperatures will leave you at risk of hypothermia. Always wear a life jacket and bring a cell phone in case of an emergency.

There are several good manufacturers of waders. Depending on the number of days on the river and your budget, you can find a decent pair.

Key attributes to look for: Durability - look for reinforced areas in the knees and butt Accessibility - quick release suspenders or a design that allows you to 'go' without removing all your top gear Warranty - gotta have a good warranty policy, lifetime if possible Check out Simms, Patagonia, Redington and Cabelas
