Whether you are a beginner, or an experienced guide, the right fly fishing gear can help anyone in a tremendous way. Here are some profile categories to fit any fly fisher out there:
Beginners- When starting out, it can be hard to justify purchasing any equipment. I would personally recommend taking a couple intro classes to make sure you start off on the right foot. Experts in their field will make sure you receive the proper training needed to become a successful fly fisher. If you decide you want to further pursue the sport, and purchasing equipment is still too much, then I would recommend renting equipment the first outing or two. This can be a great economical way to get a feel for fly fishing. (St Peter’s Fly Shop in town rents gear and provides lessons.) If you get hooked on the sport, then purchasing a starter kit is my best recommendation. There is no reason to spend a thousand of dollars on gear when you are still a novice. At the end of the day, the skills of a fisherman/woman are more important than how much they spent on the gear. READ
