When someone sets out to do something, one of the most important things to do is to plan ahead and be prepared. You got to have the right equipment, knowledge, and plan to accomplish what you have set out to do. Fly fishing is no different as you must have the proper fly fishing equipment and the know how of how to fly fish. The reel is different than regular fishing, the line is different than regular fishing, and the bait is different than regular fishing. On top of all that, the method of casting and the method of catching the fish are different as well.
