buy cheap stuff...it will work..........then fish stew ponds..catch fish....then if you get the bug...go to a decent fishing shop and get some decent gear and you will see the difference..........

starting out fly fishing is like starting out shooting.....you wont know what is good until you have experienced the poor...then you will learn what you need/want

a cheap weight forward line will set you back maybe £15 quid...........but a decent one will cost £50 plus and you will see the difference...providing you match it to the rod...

then there are rods ..tip action.....tip and middle ....all thro action.......what suits you and the line

start off cheap and learn what you need :good:

It's a pond in Cornwall , I have try and get you the name if that helps 

Might help as I can look it up and see what’s on the website. Being honest there are standard flies that catch on most waters anyway! PM your address for future reference.

Going on holiday in Cornwall my mate said he is doing fly flying and wanted me to go with him , that's why I was looking at cheap stuff just to have a go wouldn't want to break his stuff , like I said Lidl had stuff for sale but missed it , so thought I would ask on here which has been great so far

Unless you have someone who knows about fly fishing tackle, I would suggest you look at complete outfits. There are several on the market, but Snowbee do some good stuff. Buying a complete rod, reel, line outfit, it should all match, which saves you buying items separately that do not necessarily suit each other.

Does your friend not have a rod ect for you to borrow just buy him a beers for the lone!

Yes but his stuff is from his dad ( passed away ) so if I broke it , I'll just wait for Lidl to get some back in before September , £30 don't matter if I break it

I've just had look , if you haven't fly fished before I suggest you take plenty of flies , the back cast could be a bit tricky ,
