Fly Fishing Beginner Equipment

I know that people that want to get started fly fishing may look at the cost of the rod and reel and not want to anymore. Really you can get started for no more than you would for a spinner fishing set. The increase in cost comes with an increase in performance. That being said the new fly fisherman cannot get the full performance out of the more expensive equipment. If you are looking to get a starter set and want to learn how to fly fish I would recommend the crystal river fly combo kit. This kit teaches how to tie five basic knots has line and a tapered tippet. It also comes with a DVD that walks people through the casting technique. While this can help people start to be able to cast it still helps to have someone teach you the timing and how to control the excess line and wind knots that can occur. This is also 8 feet long and is a 6/7 wt rod that is perfect for trout.
