I am a beginner at fly fishing and need a good fly line that can be used for bass and bluegill and handle flies that are small enough for bluegills mouths but large enough for bass to take it. I will be using a 5 wt. fly rod and a X4 leader. Also I need a floating line. Any recommendations and advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Going to Gatlinburg in a few weeks and I want to try trout fishing. Do you mainly use a fly rod? I have one that I use for bluegill but not sure if it is strong enough for trout. I know any kind of live or dead bait is not allowed so I’d like some info what are some good flies or whatever to use.

I am a beginner at fly fishing and am going to be using a 5 wt. rod and fish for mainly bass and bluegill. I think I have found a good line but it is a 6 wt. bass bug line and I am wondering if this would work alright and if there is anything better. Also I am wondering what the heaviest fly a X4 leader could use before it starts to make casting hard. Thanks.
