my estranged father has recently made a reappearance in my life. he seems
tickled to death that i fish, as he spins. while talking on the phone the
other night, he said that if we are going to be doing any fishing together
he might as well get some fly fishing gear. he likes to fish for trout,
but
greatly enjoys fishing for walleye, pike and the like. he is coming for a
visit over christmas and wants to pick up some stuff while he's here.
what
do ya'll suggest? any help will be appreciated-

Unless he shows some inclination to really good gear, and / or likes
to blow away money, there's nothing wrong with getting a KPOS to
start. Then he's not out much if he decides he doesn't like it. 5/6
weight would probably be the most versatile for a combination of trout
and bass and panfish, though probably not heavy enough for pike or
walleye (if walleye will even come up to take flies).

Good luck on the reconciliation.

thanks, cyli
