Freshwater fly rods are generally small, lightweight, and flexible. The typical rod for fly fishing in freshwater will be about two or three metres in length and geared toward catching salmon, trout and greyling.
Slightly larger rods may be purchased for bagging salmon or seatrout and these will be used with slightly stronger fishing line. Because much of the manipulation of the line in fly fishing is done manually, fly reels are generally simple, single-action devices.
Fly fishermen are usually experts in stripping the line off the reel with their left hand while handling the rod with their right and rarely need the reel to do anything fancier than simply store the extra fishing line for them.
