Re: Just starting to learn fly fishing
Hi rdflynn,
Welcome to the forum. Best way to get information is just ask questions.

Re: Just starting to learn fly fishing
Hi Roger,
Usually the line size is printed on the rod. Look just in front of the grip and it should say the length of the rod and the line weight. If it is really old the information may have been rubbed off. If you tell us what is printed on the rod we can tell you what line to buy. You will want a weight forward floating line for most of your fishing. If you are going to be a pro by October you will need some practice. A couple of lessons would be a big help. What part of the country are you located at?
