Orvis-Endorsed Fly-Fishing Guide
Gear Recommendations:
Fly rods of your own anywhere from 7- to 12-wt. depending on the targeted species. Everything up to 10-wt. can be loaded with floating WF warm water fly line. 11- & 12-wt., it usually helps to have intermediate or sink tip. I always recommend bringing a rain jacket as storms are possible and a good hat and good polarized sunglasses. Lightweight long-sleeved quick-dry clothing is also paramount during the summer months.
What to bring (additional):
Snacks, food (unless otherwise requested), face mask, nippers, or pliers.
