Beginning Fly Fishing Kits |
 If you are wanting to get started fly fishing this spring there are some great fly fishing kits to get you one your way. FlyMasters carries three
different kits that have everything you need.
We
have two kits from Scientific Anglers; one for trout and one
for panfish.
 Both come with a 5 weight rod, reel with
backing, line and leader, flies and two DVDs. The
flies are selected for bluegill and trout (for their
respective kit). One DVD is on beginning fly fishing
and the other is on panfish and bass fly fishing.
either of these kits are great kits to start out with.
We also carry the new Essence FS Fly Fishing Outfits by
Ross. A great kit that has rod, reel (with backing,
line and leader), rod and reel case and a DVD. This
kit differs from the Scientific Anglers kit in that the
equipment is a little better and the kit includes a rod and
reel case where as the Scientific Anglers kit does not.
The Ross kit comes in a 3/4 weight, 5/6 weight or a 7/8
weight outfits. The Essence outfits come with Mel
Krieger's Instructional DVD Beginnings - An Introduction To
Fly Fishing. Whatever your fly fishing needs either of
these kits will get you started. Don't forget our Fly
Fishing School which can get you using your new fly
fishing equipment and having great fun catching fish all
summer.

| Tying Furled Flies - Ken Hanley |
 In Tying Furled Flies, author Ken Hanley introduces
readers to furling, the technique of twisting materials
together. Furling has unlimited potential for creating
distinctive mottled and variegated patterns to imitate
some of the common (and not so common) foods that trout,
bass, and steelhead feed on. Hanley offers insights on
how to fish these patterns using techniques from
standard presentations to more radical “puppeteering” to
entice fish to strike.

Noted Midwest fly tier Gary Krebs personally designed these innovative new miter box-like jigs to allow
fly tiers to create incredible custom popper bodies from foam cylinders in just minutes! You get perfectly
matched popper bodies every time. The face of each body is precisely angled to produce incredible action
and the fastback style makes for a super-sleek body. These versatile jigs even allow you to vary the length
of the body or create diver patterns by reversing the angle of the face. Our testing on these patterns have
proven that they're killers in both fresh and saltwater. You may never need to buy another pre-manufactured popper again!
