What equipment do I need to be considering, when starting to fly-fish?

Hi "amico1582"
Welcome to the forum

Difficult question to answer without knowing more about you. Where are you, where are you hoping to fish, are you most likely to fish on small rivers, big rivers, lochs?

Best wishes
Mike

Thanks for helping, I'm live in Plymouth and looking to fish up and down the river tamar, I'm just looking for a starter kit really, something to get me started I found this fly fishing starter kit http://www.arundellarmsshop.co.uk/complete-river-outfit.html but not sure if it has everything i'm looking for what do you think?

Hi
If you are just starting to fly fish why don't you go for an Airflow complete kit they are various kits and they are only £60.00

The Airflo kits look great. I was looking into buying one last year. However... If you feel like splashing more cash £150, then Orvis do an excellent starter kit

Not really equipment but I'd urge you to consider instruction first.
Honestly..... never mind spending money on gear. Instead spend some cash on getting some casting lessons from a quality instructor from a well recognised organisation such as AAPGAI http://www.aapgai.com/map_instructors/script/find_aapgai.html
Your instructor will help you with practical advice on a balanced outfit suited to your needs.
My two cents.

If Tim Smith is still at The Arundell Arms, go have a chat to him.  Tim will keep you right.
