Fly Fishing Gear for the South Fork of the Holston River Virginia
Fly Line:
We think a four weight floating fly line is all that is necessary for dry fly fishing on this
small stream. You may want either a five or six weight fly line for larger nymphs and
streamers but it wouldn't be necessary.
Leaders:
We recommend you carry leaders ranging from 7 and a half to 9 feet long, in sizes ranging
from 3X to 6X.
Tippet:
Spare tippet material should be on hand for the above size leaders or 3X to 6X.
Fly Rod:
The fly rod for the 4 weight line should be a 4 weight, eight to eight and one-half feet,
medium action fly rod. The rod you use for streamers and larger nymphs should be a five
or six weight, eight and one-half to nine foot, medium to medium fast action rod.
Fly Reel:
The fly reels should be light as possible for the appropriate fly line but they should have a
good drag. There are some larger trout in this little stream and you don't want to lose one
because of a lousy drag.
Waders:
Waders are necessary unless you are fishing during the summer and wet wading.
Landing Net:
A landing net is purely optional.
Trout Flies:
We always recommend our own "Perfect Flies" not just because we sell them but because
they are the most realistic and effective imitations you can purchase. We suggest you have
the flies necessary to match the hatches during the time you plan on fishing this little
stream..
