Dales Hunter 22 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi... Just been looking at cheap starter set ups for fly fishing. Live near a few rivers where I here many a good fish has been caught. Totally new to this and keen to hear how you guys would go about starting out? Cheers 1 Quote Link to post
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Look at john Norris range pal. Got my lad a 3# set up from there and it does the job. We fish our local river, just starting But had a few brownies. If river ain't too high we be out at weekend 1 Quote Link to post
