  • Budget— Flies can range in price from a few dollars to tens of dollars. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get started, but as you become more serious about fly fishing, you may want to invest in higher-quality flies.
  • Season — Different flies are used for different seasons. In the spring and summer, for example, you might use flies that imitate Mayflies or caddisflies. In the fall and winter, you might use streamers or nymphs.
  • Type of water — The kind of water you're fishing for will also dictate the type of fly you use. For example, if you're fishing in a river, you'll want to use a different fly than fishing in a lake.
  • Fish you're targeting — Different flies can target various kinds of fish. For example, if you're after trout, you'll want to use another fly than if you're after bass.
