Thread: Fly rod setup/advice

There is a lot of rubbish gear for sale dont get fooled. At the terminal end good stuff is required. The tapered leader to buy is the Maxima Chameleon, there is none better on this planet, a good stretch and it will last a season. Buy Dragon line for tippet. Strong, wear resistant, doesn't just go pop and break, it stretches and does its best to hold a fish and half the price or less of all the rubbish lines like Suffix, Berkley etc. Keep in the fridge between trips. Get a packet of reverge tippet rings the 1.5mm ones.
For Nymphs, look under the rocks when you hit the river for an idea of the local trout feed. Size 16 is the best start point. Nothing shiny for browns, pheasant tail, Hares ear and the like
