Where to start?

Hello all,

I just found this newsgroup. I am very interested in fly fishing but have
never done it though I have spent a GREAT deal of time bait casting and spin
casting. I would like to pursue a fishing hobby that is more interactive
with the fish and water.

I would like advice on equipment, resources, etc., to get started. I
realize that there are probably a wide range of opinions on equipment and so
forth and I appreciate that. However, my main interest "right now" is
picking up a rod and reel that is reasonably priced (i.e. $200), something
that I can learn on and grow with for a while - understanding that there is
more advanced/sensitive/specialized equipment available as I grow in my
understanding and ability in fly fishing.

Just looking to get started with sruff that will allow me to enjoy fly
fishing and grow into it. By the way, I live near Ann Arbor, Michigan, so
my fishing will be primarily in local rivers (the Huron River) and local
lakes.

Thanks for the help!

Rob
