Nebraska Fishing Guide
I've had several emails regarding the Nebraska Fishing Guide. The Nebraska Games and Parks Commission has it posted on their website. You will find all of the information you need to fish Nebraska water..

Fly Line Weight
When choosing the weight of the fly line, base your decision on
the size of the flies you will be casting. Choosing the right
line will make fishing much easier and more enjoyable for you.
0 2 weight: For the ultra-light freaks. Designed to handle
the smallest flies in the smallest waters and making the most
delicate of presentations. A short 1 wt rod and a 1 wt floating
line will make that 6-incher feel like a whale. Casting range =
30 feet.
3 4 weight: Also for fishing small flies and making delicate
presentations. These are very common for stream fishermen and
also very effective. Not overkill for small stream trout, able
to handle larger trout and ideal for some of the smaller
warm-water species. Casting range = 30 60 feet.
5 6 weight: The most common and practical weight. Will easily
handle most trout and pan fish flies up to size 6. This is the
rod most popular with Western fly fishermen and can be used in
just about any trout fishing situation. Considered by many to be
the one rod weight to have if you were to only have one rod.
Casting range = 50 80 feet.
7 8 weight: Ideal for larger streamer patterns, heavily
weighted flies, bass bugs, and in-shore salt water fishing. Lets
you cast larger flies with ease and cast greater distances. Very
effective for windy conditions. Casting range = 80 110 feet.
9 10 weight: Used by many pike, salmon, and saltwater fly
fishermen and can carry larger flies with ease. Casting range =
80 120 feet.
12 weight and up: Rods in this weight are designed more as
fighting tools than casting tools. Especially suited for the
larger saltwater game species.
Remember this general rule of thumb when purchasing your first
fly rod
Small flies can be cast with a larger line weight, but
larger flies cannot be cast with a small fly line. When you
purchase your first fly rod, match it to the largest fly you
expect to cast.
