How to load a fly reel?

Answer

You will need fly fishing how to books, backing/fly fishing, fly fishing leaders, fly fishing lines, fly fishing reels, fly fishing rods, fly fishing scissors, fly fishing tippets. Get some 10-12 feet of line from the reel double checking that it runs under the line guard on the reel and comes from the bottom of the reel. Form a U shape by doubling the loose end of the line on itself and thread that end through the metal guides on the rod starting with the thickest at the bottom working your way up. Make sure that you do not thread the line through the hook keeper found on your rod and ensure that every guide is threaded and the line is not twisted. Check for burrs while threading and remove any rough spots by filing them. Check for missed guides by holding the line in one hand and the rod in the other before bending the rod.
