Why is Trout Fly Fishing So Popular?
Frequently Asked Questions about Trout Fly Rods
Trout fly rods come in various lengths and line ratings. The best size fly rod depends on your fishing locations. If you are fishing small rivers, for example, a small 6’ trout rod would be ideal as it allows you to cast in tight and dense vegetation backdrops. However, if you are fishing small to large stillwaters, the best all-rounder fly rod length is 9-10’.
For trout fly rod line weights/ratings, anything from a 6-weight to a 7-weight will cover most small to large stillwater applications. A 7 weight is probably the most commonly used line rating for trout in the UK & Europe.
In a nutshell, yes, a 6wt fly rod is perfectly fine for trout and will handle fish from 1lb up to 12lb easily. A 6wt fly rod makes playing trout more enjoyable as it is a bit more forgiving than a 7wt rod, for example.
We'd recommend looking in the £300-£400 price range for a good trout fly rod. This will still give you a wide selection of models to choose from and will provide you with a good fly rod to hone your casting. Whatever your budget is, it is possible to find one that will suit your needs. Many fly anglers are happy to spend that little bit extra to get exactly what they want, as they see it as an investment in their fishing.
Trout spey rods are a very niche style of trout fly fishing. It is basically an adaptation of salmon spey fishing for trout, where a two-handed rod in a lighter line rating is used for targeting trout.
For a stillwater trout angler, we would recommend a 10’ 7-weight rod with a medium-fast action. This would give you enough time in the rod blank recovery to perfect the timing of your casting skills.
