The basic fly fishing equipment system is composed of a fly rod and a reel holding the fly line.  Behind the fly line, secured to both reel arbor and tied to the rear of the line, is 50 – 100 yards of braided Dacron backing. A leader, commonly 9’, is attached to the front end of the fly line.  At the unattached fine end of the leader a fly is tied.  Add water and fish and voila! You are off to an experience of a life time. Welcome to the world of fly fishing and one thin for sure – it will be a big part of your life.
