Fly Fishing Gear, Tackle and Trout Flies - Duck River Tailwater
Fly Line:
We recommend either 5 or 6 weight fly line for the Duck River Tailwater in Tennessee.
You only need a floating fly line although you may want a sinking tip line for streamer
fishing.
Fly Rod:
We recommend either a 5 or 6 weight fly rod for the respective line size you choose to
use. The 5 and 6 weight fly rod should in a medium fast to fast action and a 9 foot
length.
Fly Reel:
The fly reel used for the 5 or 6 weight lines should have a very good drag. We prefer
disc drags but there are other types that will work as well. It should be smooth.
Leaders:
Leaders should size 0X to 6X and be from 9 to 12 feet long. Use shorter leaders for
streamers.
Tippet:
You should have spare tippet in 0X and 6X. Some anglers prefer fluorocarbon but mono
is fine.
Waders:
Waders are necessary for fly fishing the Duck River. We prefer the breathable type.
Wading Boots:
Wading boots will be needed. Felt soles work best but you may want to consider the
new rubber soles.
Landing Net:
A landing net would be preferred by most anglers but it's not absolutely necessary.
Trout Flies:
Perfect Flies are recommend because they are the best trout flies you can purchase.
We have specific imitations of every food that exist in the Duck River. If you haven't
already tried Perfect Flies, we certainly hope you will. You'll find our streamers are very
effective on the brown trout in this stream.
