Fly Fishing Supplies

So you know that you need some fly fishing supplies, but unfortunately, are unfamiliar with which ones you need? Or maybe you have been an angler for quite a while, and your supplies for fly fishing just aren’t up to the task anymore. Well, before you spend any money, you are going to need to know the basic necessities to take with you on your trips. Having your fly fishing supply stocked properly is key, but you also have to make sure that you don’t overdo it, by loading down your vest with too many things, and getting incredibly unorganized.

First, you must have some clippers. Usually a pair of fingernail clippers will suffice, however, some anglers prefer to have a set of clippers that also have a pair of forceps on them. These forceps allow you to grip the hooks inside of the mouth of small fish, which happens quite often on a fly rod. The clippers help with removing hairs from flies, or cutting the line to tie a new fly.

Next, you are going to have to have a small fly pouch to carry with you. This will help you easily organize the flies that you need for the day, without having to shuffle through all of your pockets to find the right one.

If you tie your own flies, building a proper fly tying station is essential for your comfortability, as well as the quality of your flies. Supplies for a fly fishing bench can include a vise, to hold your hooks in place while you wrap the materials, as well as a light with a magnifying lens to help you see your work a lot easier. Along with this, you are going to need some basic fly hooks, and a beginners fly tying materials kit to help you with any patterns that you want to create. If you keep these few fly fishing supplies on hand, you will never have a trip on the water where you don’t have the tools for the job.
