I have a brother in-law in CT that wants to get started fly fishing for trout. He is located in Southbury CT.
I am preparing him a get started package it includes:
- 9' 5wt tip flex Orvis Clearwater II rod
- Encounter reel with two spools one is a floating line with a furled leader and the other has an intermediate line with a hand tied 6' leader to 8lb test.
- Fly box with 60-70 flies. Dries in EHC, PMD, Adams, Royal Coachman, ants, beetles, gnats, plus several stimulaters and some madam X. Nymphs in zebra midge, copper john, stone flies, pheasant tails, prince nymphs, plus a bunch of wooly buggers.
- Orvis vest
- Gink floatant, dessicant powder, thingamabobbers, split shot.
- Nipper on a zinger, hemostat on a zinger.
- I put a piece of yarn on some 5x on the floating line for practice casting.
- Spools of 3x and 5x tippet.
Copy of the Curtis Creek Manifesto.
Anything else I should add or do you think that is good?
Any advice I can share with him?
Regards
Tim C.
