Trying to learn and understand what is truth verves…… Marketing, PR, and BS is far to hard for me!! Is anything true or really make any differences? What Fly rod and line i.e. balanced system is good for small trout on small rivers? Fly Fishing: Fly fishing rods are thin, long, flexible rods sometimes made of bamboo, but mostly from man-made materials. As their name indicates, fly rods are designed to cast a fly (or flea as our mentor used to say). Instead of a weighted fishing lure, a fly rod uses the weight of the fly line for casting, and lightweight rods can cast the very smallest fly (or flea). Fly rods tend to have a single, large diameter line guide, with a number of smaller looped guides placed along the fishing rod to help control the movement of the thick fly line.

Fly fishing? I just got back from a fly fishing trip. We Fished for trout. I caught about 10 my largest being about 18in. I caught all but one on nymphs. I could put almost any nymph it the water and the fish would all have intrest in it and most the time I would have a bite in less than 2-3 min. Then the fish would pay no attention to the nymph. But as soon as I tied another nymph on they chased it again. So I was wondering if the fish started to under stand that it was fake or what. I don't think it was the line because I used 2lb fluocarbon tippet.
