Flies and Gear

Fishing is cheaper than therapy and our results are better! All equipment and tackle is provided for your trip, spin or fly. If you would like to bring your own equipment talk to your guide to make sure the line and rod weight will match that of your quarry. If using your own gear, please have it rigged up before the trip — it will save time and expedite our fishing.

Reel Advice All rods should be balanced with a salt-water reel, matching your rod weight and including at least 200 yards of 20 to 30lb backing. Disc systems with a variable drag are essential to give the angler the best opportunity to play a fish regardless of its size.
