7 Days of Outdoor Fun: My First Real Fly Rod

Posted by Chris Ford

 

I realize this one's fairly specialized, but I think it still qualifies for 7 Days of Outdoor Fun. My First Real Fly Rod is exactly that, a fully functional rod for "the next generation of fly fishers." Details after the break.

My First Real Fly Rod is a "mid-flex" 8'6" graphite fly rod, with chrome guides and an aluminum reel seat. A legit fly fishing rod also comes with a legit fly fishing price. You can buy just the rod for $89.00, or get the whole outfit (reel and rod) for $149.00. Someone to teach you how to actually fly fish is extra.
