Thanks for the info lads, especially about the line. I have two lines: RT ENERGY WF6S and RT ENERGY WF6F. The lines are new and not marked but from what I've learned in the last 48 hours I think they are Ron Thompson Energy-Weight Forward-#6-1 x Floating and 1 x Sinking. They seem to have very little memory in them but I have little knowledge to compare them with so would be grateful for any advice as to the suitability of these lines for a learner. I'm not a "tackle tart" but I wouldn't mind splashing out on better line if it is better to learn with than struggle with inferior line.
I've managed a few leads to find an instructor at local fisheries and I'll keep you informed as I progress.
Last year I learned to catch tope and common skate and the thrill of landing new species is fantastic and I cant wait to become a competent fly angler and land fish with my new skills
Kind regards

Hi, I've just been given a fly fishing outfit and need some advice. I have a 7' 5/6# rod and wonder what this rod will be best suited to. I will probably be learning on still waters fishing for trout

aye mate it is. I think it was a four pound coalie with the maccy. I'm sure the next day he was heading into the sound with rainbows for bait.

One more question if no one minds.....
I've been looking at fly rods and noticed that, for example that a 9' rod is often split into 3 sections as oposed to 2 sections if this was a light sea fishing rod. Is this for convenience of packing/traveling or is it the norm without effecting the action of the rod?
Looking forward to your replies
