If U do not know how to fly fish go to kittery trading post look at a few rods show that U R interested in buying U do not have to buy....they will take U outside and U will get a few free lessons...should take ya about an hour to get the basics...be careful places will load U up with things U do not need....I am the worlds worst fly fisherman been doing it for 30 years...have fly fished around the country and Canada....I slap the water....use straight line in whatever poundage..tapers to expensive... do not sneak up on fish...but the bottom line is I catch fish....also be prepared to have a fat wallet flies can be expensive...Flyfishing is fun

Good point Salty.

NSF, in the spring I'm often out at the popular Gloucester spots waving the long wand. I find I catch about triple the amount there on the fly vs spin. Some nice fish too, keepers, not all dinks (although there are plenty of those too). They love mummichogs. You're more than welcome to try my gear out there, I can bring a separate setup for you to use.
