Fly Fishing 101: No Brad Pitt Required

Gear & Beer: Outdoor Equipment & Beverage Reviews

A common interest among the human powered outdoor crowd: Fly Fishing!

Getting into a new activity can be intimidating especially when you want to try fly fishing but you've been watching A River Runs Through It for your entire life and you think you need go full Brad Pitt in order to make it happen.

Today on Gear & Beer we're here to help!

Justin was the stereotypical fly fishing newbie back in the day: a generally outdoorsy person who wanted to give fly fishing a try. So today he recounts his fly fishing journey to Colin and highlights the gear you'll want to get in order to get going.

And because fall is a great time to go fly fishing in Justin's native northern California, he and Colin crack open a couple Sierra Nevada Oktoberfests. Because what pairs better with fishing than an ice cold beer? Absolutely nothing.
