Fly fishing rods are different than regular fishing rods. They are long, thin, and flexible and are designed for casting the fly. They are typically longer than usual fishing rods and use heavier line to support the weight of fishing lures. They are also more flexible and thinner than other types of rods. Many things should be taken into consideration when buying them.
Originally they were made of yew, green-heart, and then split bamboo. Most modern fly rods are made from man-made composite materials such as fiberglass, carbon, graphite or boron composites. Fiberglass fly fishing rods cost less, last longer and could be used by beginners and experts. They have a basic common design however they have different types of construction. Most modern rods made out of carbon-fiber.
It is important to have the correct combination of reel and rod for a balanced piece of equipment. Fly fishing rods are classified by the net weight that they could handle. This simply means that if you are dealing with fish that weight up to 8 pounds, you should use a rod with a designation of 8 pounds or more net weight.
Fly fishing rods are sold by length, action type (degree of tip bending), line weight and intended use. They are anywhere from 7 to 10 feet in length. Rods between 8 and 9 feet are becoming more popular.
The most expensive rods are made of graphite. They weigh less and are preferred by experienced fly fishers looking for a more accurate cast. Due to its light weight, flexibility and reliability graphite is one of the most popular materials. Many traditional fishermen prefer bamboo, however there are rods on the market made from pieces of bamboo cane laminated and glued together.

There were just too many ways that things could go wrong and they did. Plus it was just a wild idea.But despite a series of setbacks and some long odds seven Bozeman men managed to helicopter in to a remote British Columbia river and catch steelhead on dry flies while making a documentary film of the unusual adventure. We got really really really lucky said Jesse Atkins 29 one of five Bozeman anglers featured in the film.The main fishing concept alone was sketchy catching steelhead on dry flies. Steelhead are searunning rainbow trout that are known to be finicky where fish caught are measured in hours spent angling not in numbers hauled in.And the idea that the wild fish would rise to eat hatching bugs although documented in angling literature is seldom seen and may never have been captured on film.
