Fly Fishing Gear for the Presumpscot River Maine
Fly Line:
A four or five weight - forward, floating fly line would be all you would ever need for the
Presumpscot River.
Leaders:
We recommend you carry leaders ranging from 9 feet to 12 feet long, in sizes ranging from
1X to 6X. You may also want some shorter leaders for streamer fishing.
Tippet:
Spare tippet material should be on hand for the above size leaders from 1X to 6X.
Fly Rod:
The fly rod for the 4 or 5 weight line should be a nine foot, medium to medium fast action
fly rod.
Fly Reel:
The fly reels should be as light as possible for the appropriate size fly lines.
Waders:
Waders are necessary. We prefer the breathable type.
Wading Boots:
Felt bottom wading boots are recommended at the present time. We have not tested the
new boots in this river.
Landing Net:
A landing net is a purely optional item.
Trout Flies:
We recommend "Perfect Flies" because they are the most realistic and effective imitations
of the things trout eat that you can purchase or use on the Presumpscot River. We also
have some very low priced, generic trout flies, if that is your preference.
