Default First newbie outfit

Did a little research on the web before I bought my first fly fishing outfit
today.

I ended up buying an Echo II rod, 6wt, 9ft,

an Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock Reel III,

and Sage (Rio) weight forward floating #6 line.

With backing, line, and leader installed at the Arizona Flyfishing shop, I
got out the door for $395.

Tomorrow is the first day of practice before I head back to WY next year.

Ah the Tim Rajeff design,
good luck with the hobby and enjoy fly-fishing.
