The Best Kind Of Fly Fishing Combo
Generally though, when first getting started, a lot of people find themselves attracted to the highly marketed fly fishing combo, which promises to give you everything you need in order to get started. While this is generally the case, you must be careful as to which fly fishing combo you go with, as they are not all the same. Even if they state that it is truly a fly fishing combo, you have to be careful because not all companies put together the same type of packages, which means that you may or may not get the best of what is out there.
Where To Buy Your Combos
Even though not everyone is a big fan of online shopping, finding your perfect fly fishing combo online is much easier then trying to get it through your basic stores. This is because with shopping online, you will have access to a much wider selection of stores then you would around your own town. Also, you are able to compare prices and selections much easier to make sure that you are really getting the absolute best deal possible on your very own fly fishing combo.
If you refuse to shop online because of the shipping charges or just an over all fear of Internet shopping, then you can still pick up a decent enough fly fishing combo through your local stores. Keep in mind though that you are not going to have the absolute best in selection because stores can only carry so many items. This means that you may only have a few different combos to pick from. But as long as you are careful in your selection you should be okay with the fly fishing combo that you pick out and start using.

Finding The Perfect Fly Fishing Accessories
Depending upon the type of fish that you are trying to catch and where your fishing location will be, you will need several different types of fly fishing accessories. It is always a good idea to talk your shopping list through with an experienced fisherman so that you are not wasting money on things that you could really do without. If you do not have anyone that you could turn to, it is a good idea to start doing a little bit of research so that you can have an idea of the basics that you will need to pick up.
Finding The Best Of The Best
When it comes to finding the absolute best in fly fishing accessories, most people would agree that you should find an online store that specializes in that type of stuff. This way, you are going to be introduced to the widest variety of fly fishing accessories available. By going through a company that specializes in this sort of thing, you are making sure that you are not wasting time looking over things that you really do not need. Also, this is the way to make sure that if you have questions that needed answered that they are really going to be answered correctly.
While this seems to be the absolute best way to get your hands on some top notch fly fishing accessories, some people are just too uncomfortable with shopping online. If this is the case, then you should really think about what stores are near you that you could stop in for all of your fly fishing accessories needs. Once you know a place that you can go to, it is important that you first do some research and list making so that you know exactly what you need. This way, you will not waste time or money on products and such that you really do not need.

Fly Fishing is For Women Too!
Are you a woman who has an interest in fly fishing but fears getting involved into a men only sport? For years, fly fishing has been considered by many to be an outdoor activity for males. Considering that the first known English book written on the subject was by a woman, Dame Juliana Berners, it seems odd that fly fishing has only recently attracted greater numbers of women to the sport.
It is true that the majority of fly anglers today are men, however I'm seeing more and more women try their hand at catching fish and learning to cast a fly rod. Women are discovering the peace and tranquility that can be had from wading in a river, matching the hatch and casting to rising fish.
Many manufacturers of fly fishing equipment are now producing gear made especially for women. Not in the sense of making a fashion statement on the river, but for better a better fit. There are even fly rods that are made with women in mind that have grips of a smaller diameter to fit the more typical smaller hands of women.
While there are growing numbers of women who enjoy fly fishing with their spouses and male friends, some are more comfortable learning the sport with other women. Many cities and districts now have women only fly fishing clubs where they can meet regularly, plan fly fishing outings, teach each other fly tying techniques and enjoy each other's camaraderie. There are now many guides and fly fishing instructors among the fairer sex, too.
In 2006, a team of five women participated in the Canadian Fly Fishing Championships which took place on the Grand River near Fergus, Ontario and one woman, Sunny Vanderkloof of British Columbia, came in sixth in the competition out of 40 anglers.
One notable organization, Casting For Recovery, began in 1996 with the aim of providing free weekend trips to women that have suffered from breast cancer. These trips include professional instruction on not only fly casting, but identifying insects fish may be feeding on in order to select the best flies to bait the fish, equipment basics, and knot tying. Fly fishing is a perfect sport for those in recovery - the casting motion can be gentle and at the same time, strengthens weak soft tissue
Recently, I was speaking with a professional guide who told me that often women are far easier to teach the art of fly casting too. Whereas men will often have the idea that they need to use muscle over form, women can often pick up the rhythm of fly casting much more quickly than a male who has spent most of his fishing experience trying to cast their bait as far as possible using casting and spinning rods.
So if you're a woman that has an interest in taking up fly fishing, get out there and find an instructor or a club in your area and give it a try. Most professional instructors and guides will be able to provide you with equipment that you'll need. Don't worry about spending money on gear until you discover if you will enjoy the sport and do more of it. Be sure to check out the Women's Resources at About Fly Fishing.
