Fly Fishing Gear and Trout Flies for Ridley Creek Pennsylvania
Fly Line:
If you used a 5 weight floating fly line, you could fish anytime and just about anyway you
wanted to on this small creek. There are anglers that prefer something lighter for dry fly
fishing. In that case you may want a 4 weight, floating fly line.
Fly Rod:
If you only use a 5 weight line, then choose a fly rod that is about eight to eight and a half
feet long in a medium to medium fast action. That will allow you to fish small nymphs as well
as dry flies. Of course if you use a 4 weight line for dry flies, we would recommend the same
length but in a medium action.
Fly Reels:
Any reel that is capable of holding enough 4 or 5 weight line is adequate. We like the lighter
ones with good drags.
Leaders:
Have some leaders ranging from 3X to 7X and lengths from seven and one-half to twelve feet.
Tippets:
Have some extra tippet material ranging from 3X to 7X.
Waders:
We think waders are a must because there are many areas trees prevent fishing from the
banks. Wading boots should have felt or the new rubber type soles.
Trout Flies:
We prefer our "Perfect Fly" imitations. We recommend you have imitation for all stages of life
for those insects shown in the hatch section of this site.
