r/flyfishing is a subreddit with 408k members. The community frequently discusses fly fishing, trout, fishing, rod, and fly, and they frequently recommend/review fly line, flies, and waders, and the most common flair used is discussion and image.
This is a subreddit for fly anglers of any age and experience level, from any walk of life or lifestyle. If you pursue fish with fly tackle (or want to), you're welcome here. Some of us chase brook trout on bluelines with ultralight rods; others prefer streamers or dries or dynamic nymphing techniques. Many of us use double-handed rods for steelhead, have a chronic permit problem, or chase tarpon or even billfish on heavier gear. Read, research, query, contribute, brag - all are welcome here!
