Found some reasonable sounding advice as to suitable equipment for
beginners. I'm looking at a Sage Launch 9', 5wt pole, and a Ross
Cimarron Large Arbor reel loaded with 5-wt, weight-forward, floating
line, 75' of braided backing and a 9', knotless, tapered leader w/ 4X
tippet. I have a short laundry list of flies with which to start.

If you continue with fly fishing you'll inevitably get a small
collection of rods. But you've got one rod that you'll never have to
trade in - it ought to be a permanent part of your collection even if
you add others.

That's the impressions I got from all the reviews I could find. Seems like
a real value point


The leader stuff will work itself out as you learn more. Don't
hesitate to ask. Or better yet meet up with the gang if you see a
group trip posted.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to it
