I dont have very much money but I still really want to learn how to fly fish. I am thinking about buying the Martin Fly Fishing Rod & Reel Combo – 8′ Rod for $38. Is this a good rod and reel combo for a beginner or is harder to use because its so cheap.
What other inexpensive combos would you recommend for a beginner fly fisherman?
From everything I’ve looked up, I see that there are a couple different kinds of tackle used for fly fishing, Line Backing, Line, leader, tippet, and i think that’s it. For line backing, do you fill your entire spool with backing? half of the spool? would you put half backing/half line? and how strong should each be, for example, should the backing be stronger then the line, vice-versa, or should they just be the same? And finally, what are good backing/line brands? sorry for asking so many questions, I just really want to start fly fishing, to do something a little different from traditional spin tackle fishing.

We are canoeing the Ausable River in Michigan next weekend. We will be going from Mio to Lake Huron. We are not experianced fishers, but would like to have a trout dinner one of those nights. We do not have room for any fly fishing rods. We will just be taking our small travel rods. Also, any advice for doing that run? Anything that we should bring, that you don’t usually need, for that run?

saw an old guy yesterday with a fly rod about 6 and half feet or maybe 7 feet long. he had some mono tied on the fly line…only about 3 feet. no tippet. then on the mono “leader” he had a very little brass hook like a salmon egg hook. He smashed bread on the hook and was fly casting, but only about 10 feet literally right in front of his feet. he was fishing on the shore at a little pool on the river that had small bass and perch…. he was catching left right and center. when the bread got soggy and fell of, he’d just put some more on….. never saw anything like it!
There is nothing like eating Pacific Dungeness Crab just caught in the ocean and cooked within minutes for a shore lunch. Here you see Dustin Kovacvich as the chef and shows you how. Dustin is a pro angling guide operating out of Terrace BC Canada who would love to cook a shore lunch for you like this sometime. Dustin is mostly a river guide but from time to time will take his guests on an ocean trip…and a fresh Crab lunch served with hot garlic butter is ALWAYS on the menu. Is your mouth watering yet?
