The length and gauge of a fly rod

There are two main factors to consider when buying a fly fishing rod. First, if you choose a rod that is 9 feet and under, you will be able to fish for trout in rivers and streams. Slightly longer fly rods between 9 and 10 feet are designed for river fishing. Rods longer than 10 feet are designed for spey casts, as you will have more control over your line.

As for the gauge of your fishing rod, it will simply depend on the type of fish you want to catch. While the thinner rods are designed for trout fishing, the thicker rods will allow you to go after tarpon and large saltwater fish.
