Default fly fishing gear for my father

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-

Wally now has a two-fer-one sale. That's where he sends you the first
rod, you send that one back, and then he sends the correct one. Worked
for me! ;-)

And once he gets a Dell he can post to roff posing as your

The new St Croix Legend Ultra rods are an excellent value, another excellent
value is the G Loomis Adventure reels, Orvis Battenkills, or the Lamson
reels. The quality is good enough in all this stuff that he'll not need to
upgrade later.
