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.

While fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, salt water fly fishing legend, Bo Meador, hooks a huge bull shark.

I found this really cool bamboo fishing rod at an antiques shop today. It’s insignia on the rod was a globe and below it it said "Globe". It’s an old rod, most likely 80′s or 90′s, pretty good condition. the weird thing was, the reel seat was ABOVE the cork handle, which i have never seen in a fly rod. im pretty sure its a fly rod though, its really long, 4 pieces, and get REALLY thin at the top; plus, it dont know why anyone would make a bamboo spinning rod? anyways, if anyone has an info, and what it is worth i would appreciate it. BTW, it was like 40 some dollars in the shop.
Yeah its in a woodbox with an unopened pack of hooks and a bobber or two. its in pretty good condition. what do you think the retail value is in good condition?

The Z-AXIS Fly Rod! Mr. Wizard is back and talk about pressure! You know the design team at Sage was sweating some serious bullets when they looked to replace the XP. For more than six years the XP fly rod series has been the industry standard by which fast action fly rods are measured and now it has been replaced. Enter the Z-Axis. We know you’re going to be completely awed by this Sage fly rod series! These rods are lighter and although they generate the fastest line speed of any fly rod, are easier to cast (if that is possible) than the XP models. The added advantage of the extreme line speed is accuracy and control of your fly. If you want to talk trackability…You are going hear more cliches than you can shake a stick at (we couldn’t resist just one) about this rod series but just remember, if you want the lightest, most accurate fly rod on market, then reach for the Z-Axis. As Sage says it in one word “Magic”. To purchase this rod go to: www.flyfishingoutfitters.com

I just got a fly rod the other day and it broke on our camping trip. I have to send in a form and I am not sure what the parts are the fly rod? Does anyone know the a website that has a picture of a Fly fishing rod and it shows the names of the parts of the fly rod?

i’m getting my first fly rod for christmas and i am having trouble understanding all the types of line you use. i usually fish using a spin rod so i only use on type of line. i just need help understanding the lines used. so its backing – fly line – leader – tippet right? also, what is the difference between leader and tippet, and what is the material the backing and fly line made out of. thanks for any answers
thanks for the answers. also, do you have to have a tippet?

I chuck spawn and some flys already with the spinning rod. I fish at least 3-4 times a week as NE Ohio weather allows and want something to hold up but I don’t know exactly what I want in a fly rod. I have been told a 10′ 7-8 wt. Websites would be nice as well.
