"I always recommend a visit to your local fly shop to test cast as many rods
as possible but I don't know anything about fly shops in Ann Arbor"

I don't know how much good that would do me anyhow since I've never been fly
fishing before.

Hey now, I didn't come to talk politics! smile

"but I do know of an online fly shop that could fix you right up.

That right there is just what you're looking for and I can highly recommend
ezflyfish as a first-class operation."

Is around $230 about how much I should expect to spend on a rod and reel? I
guess, now that I think about it, I spent more on my St. Croix rod and Penn
reel a few years ago. So, yeah, that sounds about right.

You could get a Cabela's Three Forks and a Pflueger Medalist
for $75 if you wanted to go the cheap route:

But obviously I don't recommend it or I wouldn't have steered
you towards ezflyfish. In fly fishing as in most things, you
get what you pay for.

One more thing. The ezflyfish combo includes a $60 fly line. In
fly fishing a good fly line is essential. You can really sour yourself
on the whole enterprise by trying to cast a piece of **** fly line. If
you do decide to go for the cheap rod & reel from Cabela's be sure
to take the fly line they send with it and dump it in the trash.

Yep. I understand that. Like I said, once I started thinking about how
much I spent for my spin casting rig it made sense.

By the way, thank you for the website. It looks like they've done all the
legwork for me, as far as putting a complete package together. That's kind
of what I was looking for.
