Please help a noob

I will buy one tapered leader and blood knot on some thinner line for the tippet. I usually get the 5x or 6x 4 to 6 pound test. You can replace this pretty easy. I would get a vest. You can probably go scope them out at cabelas or sportsmans and then shop on the internet for something cheaper. You can probably do the same thing with felt bottom boots. I rarely use my waders, just wear shorts and wading boots in the summer, with all my valubales in the vest in case I decide to cross some deep water. You also want some #4 and #6 split shot. As for flies, I would get some prince's, copper johns, rainbow warriors, Hare's ears, pheasant tails (preferably flashback), lightning bugs, midges-zebra (black, green, red, grey, disco-all smaller beadheads). Dries-PMDs, BWOs, Royal Wulffs, Humpies, Adams, Stimulators, and some hoppers-preferably foam. I think fly goddess mentioned everything else. Flyfishing is very expensive, but also very addicting. Have fun. If you have any other questions or want to fish PM me. I have been doing a lot of boat fishing lately and went to the Webe today and got my fly fishing jones on for the season.

Later,

Philbert
