It sometimes feels like being a successful fly angler comes down to having “the right stuff.” From waders and boots to lines and reels to the endless multitude of gadgets, gizmos, and fly patterns, every angler has an opinion about the fly fishing equipment that’s “absolutely necessary” to catch fish.
