Video Pro Tips: How to Set Up Your Fly Rod

Written by: Phil Monahan


So you’ve picked your fishing spot and parked the truck. Now it’s time to set up your fly rod for a day of fishing. This seems pretty basic, but there are actually a couple of tricks to make the process easier, and Orvis casting instructor Pete Kutzer walks you through them. Even how you put the sections of the rod together can make a big difference. If the ferrules aren’t seated properly, the rod can come apart in the middle of casting, or worse, you could crack a ferrule. Next, pete explains how to attach the reel and then string the line. If you’ve been holding onto the thin tippet to string your rod, then Pete’s method will change your life.
