Rod Fish Pole

Best Fly Fishing Poles For Beginners

I love to go fishing. There is just something fun about pulling in some animal out of the water and having dinner that night. Fishing is a very popular sport/hobby that a lot of people enjoy. There are several places you can fish, in the river,lakes or the ocean. In this article I will be talking about fresh water fishing in the rivers and streams.

I remember several years ago we went up into the mountains and wanted to try fishing. We had never been fishing in a fresh water stream before and so we were just used to fishing in the lakes and ponds around our house. Being that we had never fishing in a river like this before we just took our regular fishing poles and bought a few flies so we might could catch some trout.

I do not think we even got a bite when we were fishing. We had a lot going against us. We were using the wrong poles for one and another reason was we were using line that was too big. If you have ever been Trout Fishing you will know that you need SMALL test line and the proper fishing pole.

The proper fishing pole and line will make all the difference in the world. If we were more experienced we may could have caught a trout with our poles and line but it is best to just use the proper equipment when fishing.

So you may be wondering what are some good fly fishing poles. You may not know what to look for in a fly fishing pole. Picking out any pole can be a hard thing because there are just so many poles to chose from. If you walk into a nice sized fishing supply and tackle shop you will know what I mean.

There are a couple of poles I will recommend. Buying a good pole does matter as the old saying goes “You get what you pay for”.

One pole I recommend is the Sage Xi2. Sage spent 3, yes 3 years to make their Sage fly Fishing Rods even better. The technology that is in this rod is amazing. They really put a lot of high tech build quality features in these poles. They use 100% graphite hoop fibers in most of the rod but in the delicate areas such as the tip sections they very carefully put in a few glass fibers for extra strength. I had no idea any company would put in so much effort in a pole to make sure it will work for you for years to come.

Another pole I recommend is the Orvis Frequent Flyer. This is the perfect traveler rod as it is only 8 foot 6 inches long. You may be wondering how that makes it a good travel rod as that is quite long. It is 7 sections and breaks down into a length of around 2 ft or so. You can carry it in your backpack. This rod has awesome reviews, people really like it!

The right rod can make or break your Fishing Trip. Be sure and pick the right one!
