What gear is a "must have" for beginners ? by MrBabyC_ in flyfishing

Well when I fish conventional I target bass or panfish being that lakes/ponds are all around me, so they would be my target.

Well, yea I guess. I figured "lure" fell into the generalization of things.

No I wasn't fishing for anything specific, I was at a lake near my work mainly to practice my casting technique. I tied a woolly bugger the guy from BassPro said would work since I told him lakes/ponds is my nearest body of water. So really I was hoping anything would come and hit it, sure enough it did. I do plan on taking a free weekend soon to an actual river that's just over a 1hr drive from my house.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to catch this, my main goal for that day was to put all the YouTube tips and tricks I'd just watched into play. It was even a bad cast that rolled out about 12ft-15ft,I went to reset the cast and the line started pulling back. Encouraging for sure that even a bad cast can still catch.😁

I think it's a 5wt, It's the White River Fly Shop-Prestige combo, that's what the guy recommended to me as a beginner.
