If you’re taking up fly fishing, you’re going to need some basic fly fishing tackle to get started. For those who just took up fly fishing, the most economical way to acquire a rod, reel and line is to look for a “combo” deal at local fly fishing tackle shops. Considerations before buying include the types of fish you will be seeking, the types of waters you’ll be fishing in and the distance from which you’ll be fishing. Get a chest pack or a bum bag with plenty of zippers, compartments and pockets. Some veteran anglers prefer packs to traditional fishing tackle boxes because they’re worn on the body, making them more accessible.
