Newbies first fly fishing rod?
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010![fly fishing](http://www.cupidfish.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fly-fishing-300x193.jpg "\\"fly")
Hello all thought I’dpost about being an absolute newbie at fly fishing. I am still struggling a bit with casting and landing a trout but I am hooked on fly fishing. Now it’s time to buy my own equipment although I have only been on two fly fishing trips with others and now I think I am ready to venture out alone. I am looking to buy a nice, mid-priced, decent rod. Do any fly anglers on this site want to point me in the right direction or a good suggestion? I have been told by many, that fly fishing kits are more problems then good?
thanks for any help!!!!!

My first fly rod fishing advice
Thursday, July 29th, 2010![fly rod](http://www.cupidfish.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/fly-rod-164x300.jpg "\\"fly")
Good morning all! I am also new here and thought I’d ask some of the resident fly anglers about my first fly rod I just purchased. It’s single action, not to fancy. So my questions for the fly anglers here. How much line would you recommend to go on the reel? Backing fly line and, leader. Also, what is the loop at, the end of the leader for? and, what is tippet? I will be mostly concentrating on reservoirs for Hybrid Striper and, Crappie. any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Terry
Alaskan Fishing road trip
Sunday, July 4th, 2010![Alaska Fishing road trip](http://www.cupidfish.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Alaska-Fishing-road-trip-300x196.jpg "\\"Alaska")
Happy 4th of July people! It looks like we are going up to Anchorage in late July for what I’d say is an Alaskan fishing road trip and will be travelling around by car/truck to hit some nice fishing spots. I know there are some regulations in certain areas on where you can use fly fishing gear only, or a regular fishing rod. Do any of you members or anglers know where I can get this information in advance? Just trying to plan what to bring and map our routes… I’ve looked for any sort of map or link, but can’t seem to find anything other than a reference from the Department of Fish…
Thanks in advance!

Largemouth Bass fly fishing bait
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010![fly fishing large bass](http://www.cupidfish.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/fly-fishing-large-bass-150x150.jpg "\\"fly")
Hey all, I have to work on the 4th but I have the rest of the week off and going camping and I am going to do some fly fish fishing and for (first time) largemouth bass. What is the best bait/fly to catch them with? I don’t think it could be much harder then lets say then channel catfish? I haven’t fished for a couple of years, but the last time I did was in the fly fishing and I caught a nice trout. If I could handle that I am thinking why not go fly fishing for largmouth bass?Thanks!

Rooster fish fly fishing Baja! I am excited about heading down to the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula in a week to try my luck fly fish for some Baja rooster fish. We’ll be inshore fishing. I picked up at 10wt rod and I’m wondering what is the best line to get (floating, sink tip, full sink). What I need to know from my fellow fly anglers here at CupidFish is the type of Fly line would you recommend?Thanks and happy 4th!

Fly fishing Q & A
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Alright here goes. I got my first fly rod for fathers day, a field and stream 6 wt 9 ft with WF line. So here is my newbie fly fishing question. I will be fishing poppers and streamers and woolly buggers so how do I attach my fly line to a leader, could I just use like 8lb stren mono or do i have to use a leader designed for fly fishing like for example “frog hair”. Thanks in advance and tips are appreciated. Gary
Fishing northen ontario info?
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
It’s looking like it’s going to be a go because my work gave me some time off after 2 years of working straight. Anyway, me a some of my friends want to go on a Canadian fly fishing trip this summer. Can anyone recommend a good place. Which is better fly in or drive in? Thought I’d ask here and see that there are some nice helpful anglers. Also, if you have any information/guides etc. What gear would you recommend and we want to go fly fishing so any fly advice would be helpful. Thanks- Jeff
Accidentally hooking a trout
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
At times when I am fly fishing I accidentally hook a trout in the tail or side. What is the best thing to prevent this from happening in the future? It’s like a fluke because I’ve always had this problem fishing streamers. I’ve done some research online and apparently it’s called a ‘bump’ a trout does to stun the ‘fish’ for a couple seconds so they can catch it (in their mouths) easier and I always mistake it for a hit on the fly. So my question, is it better to leave the fly in or cut the line?
Thank you in Advance for any tips, – Terry in Oregon

So I am new to fly fishing and have more questions then experience. I want to start fly fishing more often, but do not know how and now researching on all the gear that is needed. Second, is there anywhere I can go to take lessons in NE AR or any other ways I can learn? I am sure this question as been asked many times here, but looks like some great folks here..
Thanks
