Fly Fishing: Getting started...

[bmcgeehan]

A four weight is ideal for fishing smaller streams and rivers. The height of the rod will depend on the amount of brush that you have and overhead trees. For [url "http://www.montanaangler.com"]Montana fly fishing[/url] where I live, we normally use a 9' rod since a lot of our smaller streams are meadowed and not as heavily treed so you aren't always casting under a canopy of branches. I like a 7.5 foot 3 wt when fishing eastern streams. When you are just throwing small attractor dries a 3 or 4wt is plenty.
