Gearing Yourself Up For Saltwater Fly FishingGet A New Rod In general, the game you're looking for in saltwater fly fishing will weigh more than in freshwater fishing. Because of this, you'll need a rod that can handle a heavier-weight line. Start looking with 9-weight rods to ensure that you'll have something that can handle the longer casts and heavier weights that your saltwater fish will require. Tailor your rod and line to the fish that you're trying to catch; if you're going out into deep water to hook something big, you may need a heavy 15-weight rod and line. Buy An Appropriate Reel Just as you need a rod and line that's right for saltwater fly fishing, you will also need a good reel for the sport, as well. Salt water has corrosive properties, so if you don't want your reel to rust after the first time out, then look for one made with all parts composed of materials such as stainless steel, titanium, or anodized aluminum. This is particularly important if you're planning to go saltwater fly fishing in warm waters, where the corrosion will happen even faster. Rent A Boat Even if you're not planning to go for the biggest fish out there, you'll want to rent a boat for saltwater fly fishing. Unlike inland fishing, where you can have great luck fishing along the shore of a river, you'll want to get out from shore a little ways in order to have some success with saltwater fishing. You don't have to be too fancy about your boat; while a fancy yacht would certainly be impressive, even a simple rowboat will do if that's all you have. For something that's inexpensive but useful, a 15-foot sailboat with some sort of protection in the event of bad weather will work great. So, with the purchase of a heavy rod and line, a corrosion-resistant reel, and the rental of a good boat, you'll have some of the basics for your saltwater fly fishing trip. |
