Fly Fishing
Fly gear can vary according to conditions. On a calm day, a #6 outfit is great. With stronger winds, use a #8 or #10. Reels should hold 200 yards of 20 lb. test. Dacron backing plus floating fly line. Fly lines should be neutral-colored. Leaders should be at least 9′ long. Tippets are typically 8-10 lb. tests and should be clear. Flies should be unweighted and tied predominantly on a #6 hook. The best colors are orange or patterns in white, brown, and pink.
