Weight forward line for beginners....

I always wanted to make the leap to fly fishing.

I have uncles that live in Vermont and when we'd visit we'd always go fishing. Monster trout there.

The cost kept me away from it, but when I lived in Michigan a friend taught me how to fish with dry lures. We'd go trout fishing and have a good time.

Good luck!

A really good set of waders is worth their weight as well!

Andy... the technicality of it is what is alluring to me... here on the rivers I float a rapala down and real it in... it's nice when I catch a beauty of a brown or rainbow, but I want a little more fight...

DMV... I duck hunt as well as fish... and yes GOOD waders are gold here... unfortunately my chest waders finally bit the dust this duck season and my hip waders only got one season out of em... so now I'm in the market for a good pair of those...

Damn hobbies and their equipment...

Bass Pro can be bought online also. I don't care where you buy, I did this research last October, and they where the best for the price for us. I do think you are better off getting a cheaper combo- for your first one, as not everyone stays with it, and it will show you things you may want to change.

Thinking about going with this cheap Pflueger model... I fish a Pflueger spinner...

The Medalist is a classic reel that's tough. Loud as ****, but tough. The rod is crap. Just a suggestion..

It'll set you back a couple bucks more, but you're much better off.

We're not sure if this info is still good, but you could try the Carson Flyfishing club 775-885-9974 Dave Conklin was the president, but again this is from a couple years ago. If they're anything like us, they go on outings every month, BBQ, etc..

I got one of these setups:

Seemed decent; reel is metal, flys seem to be OK.

Case is a big plus......and backing/line/tippet, etc is included.
