Fly Fishing Gear for Seneca Creek
The fly fishing gear you need for Seneca Creek should be limited as much as possible
because you will need to take it with you either on a short hike or to camp in the
backcountry.
Fly Line:
The fish you will catch will be either be small native brook trout or small wild rainbow trout.
You can use fly lines much lighter for these trout than a 4 weight floating line but that is
what we are recommending. If you want to go lighter, they would be nothing wrong with it.
Leaders:
Your leaders should range in sizes from a 3X for small streamers up to a 7X for small dry
flies. You should carry them in lengths ranging from seven and one-half feet, up to 9 feet in
length.
Tippets:
You should have extra tippet material ranging from 3X to 7X.
Fly Rods:
We recommend a 4 weight fly rod or lighter if you prefer. It should be a medium action rod
from seven to eight and one-half feet in length. Most anglers would prefer a four piece rod
so that it will break down into a short length for hiking.
Fly Reels:
The fly reel you use for the 4 weight line (or even lighter) should be light but that is about
the only requirement.
Waders:
You can get by with out waders if you fish from the banks but it wouldn't be the most
desirable situation. We recommend carrying waders. You may be able to wet wade (wade
without waders) during the summer. Didymo has been found in this stream.
Wading Boots:
We recommend felt soles for your wading boots. You may want to consider the new rubber
sole boots since Didymo is present.
Trout Flies:
As always we recommend our own "Perfect Fly" trout flies. You can get by using generic
and attractor flies but you will be better off having imitations of the insects that are most
available to the trout at the time you plan on fishing.
