Choosing Fly Fishing Rods to Meet Your Needs
As any experienced fly fisherman can attest, the rod you choose will have a significant impact on not only whether or not you catch the fish you are seeking, but how easy or difficult the catch will be. There is little doubt that fly fishing is an art form and that it takes a great deal of time and experience to master, but for people new to the sport, the ability to choose the right rod is an important starting point. Fly Fishing Rods are all different from one another, and the right one for you depends on many things.
Size and length are important factors when choosing fly Fishing Rods and reels. For example, salmon Fishing Rods and trout Fishing Rods have very different requirements. In terms of size, the number of a Fly Fishing Rod will increase as the size of the rod increases. A 3, for example, is ideal for trout fishing, while a 9 would be better suited for salmon. Length is also an important consideration, with 9′ being the most popular option. Shorter rods are typically advised for fishing in smaller areas or in places where bushes and plants line the outer edges of the water.
When seeking out the perfect trout or salmon Fly Rod, it is important to also consider the action of the rod. Action determines how much of the rod will bend during casting. Fast rods, for example, only bend at the tip and are ideal for fishing long distances or in high winds. Slow rods offer a full bend and are ideal for fishing in small creeks. A medium bend offers the most diversity and is typically the best choice for beginning fly fishermen. Snowbee Fishing Rods are well known in the industry for durability, quality, and craftsmanship.
While fly fishing has long been thought of as an elite sport, it is becoming increasingly popular with young people and older people alike. Fly fishing communities are becoming surprisingly diverse, and Internet communities are helping to spread interest in the sport. These communities are ideal for people new to fly fishing and can be excellent resources for people seeking their first fly Fishing Rods or simply looking for the courses they need to better their skills. Finding the right Fishing Rods is an important part of fly fishing, and doing so doesn’t have to be difficult.

can someone help me chose a Fly Fishing Rod And Reel?
I Like to fish a fairly small river the Powell River to be specific for smallmouth and the clinch for fairly large trout. I’d like to keep it fairly cheap any ideas?
Have to agree with the other posters- a 6wt would suit you best, depending on the size of the bass a 7wt would also suit, without being too heavy handed.
Another point i must agree with, you can spend a small sum on a rod, but what you really need to do is buy a quality WF line-to match the rod, in this case a 6wt, a floating line is all you need to start with.
As for rods, well i wouldn’t normally recommend TFO(temple for outfitters) but recently i cast one and for the price it wasn’t all that bad. They have enough power in the blank to handle harder fighting fish, i also recommend a model with a fighting butt, for ease of use. Redington is also a brand i would suggest looking into, if you don’t want to spend too much, kmdtackle.com, has the cheapest prices for redington i have seen online, so check them out!

Another cheap option, although not a combo, for a reel, i suggest buying the okuma magnitude, if you plan to keep the price down.
