Fly Fishing Gear, Tackle and Trout Flies for Bowman Creek
Pennsylvania
Fly Line:
We recommend a 4 or 5 weight, floating fly line for dry flies and lighter nymphs and a 6 weight
fly floating fly line for heavier nymphs and streamers. You could easily get by with one 5 weight
floating fly line.
Leaders:
Leaders should range in sizes from a 0X for streamers up to a 6X for midges and small dry
flies. Lengths ranging from seven and one-half feet, up to 12 feet in length are suggested.
Tippets:
Extra tippet material ranging from 0X to 6X should be available for the leaders we list above.
Fly Rods:
We recommend a fast action fly rod, nine feet in length for all three weights of fly lines.
Fly Reels:
The fly reels you use for the 4, 5 or 6 weight lines, if you choose to use them all, should be
light and have good drags. You are subject to hook a large trout in Bowman Creek and you
don't want to loose it because of a lousy drag.
Waders:
We recommend waders. There are few places you could fish without them. We prefer the
breathable type but you could use neoprene waders during the winter if you preferred.
.
Wading Boots:
We recommend felt soles for your wading boots. You may want to consider the new rubber
sole boots that help prevent the spread of Didymo but we have not tested them on this stream.
Landing Net:
A landing net is purely an optional item.
Trout Flies:
We recommend our "Perfect Flies". Thats not only because we sell them, its also because
we think they are the best flies you can purchase. They have been tested in the freestone
streams of Pennsylvania. They are not only the most realistic flies you can buy, they are the
most effective ones you can use. If you haven't already tried them on Bowman Creek, we
hope you will give them a try. You will be glad you did.
