By Tim Quinton
Welcome back Natural Sportsman Fly Fishermen! And Women – I call all of you Fly Fishermen, regardless of gender. I figure if that’s OK with Linda Greenlaw (skipper of one of the Andrea Gail’s sister ships in “The Perfect Storm”), then it’s OK with me.
Since becoming a Fly Fisherman 40 years ago I have progressed from novice to professional, and I have helped many of my friends and relatives get started in the sport. That is my goal in this article – to help you Fly Fishermen wannabe’s start your journey on the right foot.
In this installment we’ll talk about equipment: rods, reels, lines, leaders, flies, clothing, and the assorted stuff we use while fly fishing. In the next article we’ll briefly go into the fishing part. Volumes have been written about fly fishing and I’ll just cover the basics. Finally, I’ll touch on my thoughts on conservation and how to make sure future generations can enjoy the sport.
