Fly-fishing is very different to conventional fishing so if you are new to fly-fishing and don't own any fly-fishing gear then you've come to the right place to find out what you need to get started.

You will need the basics, a rod, a reel, line, and hooks. These are not the conventional items though. It's not a simple matter of heading to your nearest fishing tackle shop and buying these items. Fly-fishing presents a lot more options and choices. So before you buy anything you have to know what you need for the types of fly-fishing that you prefer.
