The present invention relates to a device for fly fishing comprising a line reel (1) for reeling in the fly line when utilizing preferably single-how rods for fly fishing, the line reel (1) comprisng a line spool (18) which, via friction operation, Is designed to be operated by a drive means initiated by the fisherman, the line reel (1) being preferably placed under one of the fisherman's upper arms while fishing and a turning wheel (30) cooperating with the line reel (1), which can be placed on the fly rod (3). The object of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of preparing the fly line and its hindrance during fishing, and primarily the drawback of the circumference of the line spool, of the fly reel, decreasing as the fly line is pulled out. This is achieved by the line spool (18) slipping in relation to the drive means, or rotating therewith, when the fly line (8) is pulled out, held still or pulled in by the fisherman so that the unloaded part of the fly line (8) behind the fisherman's hand is reeled in onto the line spool (18), whereupon a turn or so of the fly line (8) can be placed around the wheel (30) the circumference of which thus remains constant when the line is pulled out or reeled in by the fisherman using the wheel (30).
A fly fishing device for feeding and reeling fly line to and from a rod held by a fisherman, comprising a line reel for reeling in the fly line, he line reel including a frictionally controlled line spool, a driver coupled to the line spool for actuation by the fisherman, a support coupled to the line reel for holding the line reel under one of the fisherman's upper arms while fishing;
A fly fishing device for feeding and reeling fly line to and from a rod held by a fisherman, comprising a line reel for reeling in the fly line, the line reel including a frictionally controlled line spool, a driver coupled to the line spool for actuation by the fisherman , a support coupled to the line reel for holding the line reel under one of the fisherman's upper arms while fishing:
