jay,you will find the cost of fishing more expensive than Coarse fishing-ie day tickets around £25/£35 day down here.Lots of stillwater fisheries in the south,assuming that's what you are after.

No need to spend shed loads of dosh on tackle.Some quite decent stuff about,just hunt round ebay and the online stores.Go to your tackle shop for a rod or at least handle a few as all are different actions.Plenty of reels available too.I have one quite expensive model a mid priced model and a shakespeare Alpha which are around £12 with a spare spool,and quite frankly for the money there aint much wrong with it either-look for large arbour reels.Lines are not cheap as a rule.However 'Redditch lines' on ebay are great value at around £9.I have three of them and am more than happy.Have a worcestershire(shakespeare),again great line and used by a lot of anglers-can be got for around £12 if hunted down.

If your local shop does fly gear-go in there,they may well do you a deal,and will give you info.

Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Jay

 

Where about's down south are you? Many lakes will give you the ability to try fly fishing, hire tackle and have casting tuition. Could well be worth having a lesson first before you go out and buy all the gear.

Most small stillwaters should give you a reduced rate as a youngster.
