In this episode of Anchored April is joined by Catherine Laflamme and Tim Arsenault from Michael and Young Fly Shop to revisit the discussion about choosing a first fly fishing setup. Both Tim and Catherine are accomplished anglers, casters and salespeople, so they’re perfect to answer questions from someone who is new to fly fishing. They discuss fly line composition, taper, weight, function, and all the little things many of us just assume to be common knowledge. We hope this helps get some of you out there on the water!
