What is a recomended starter fly rod and reel for steelhead fishing?

Posted by admin

I chuck spawn and some flys already with the spinning rod. I fish at least 3-4 times a week as NE Ohio weather allows and want something to hold up but I don’t know exactly what I want in a fly rod. I have been told a 10′ 7-8 wt. Websites would be nice as well.

try either one of these in an 8 wt…..

    for flyrods the best for small fish and fresh water is 4wt and if you want anything bigger than that i would recommend what you thought a 8 wt. have 2 reels one set up with a dryline and another with sinking line.
