I have just starting fly fishing. I've spent most my life plunking, trolling, and casting lures. Lately I've been spending more time on streams, rivers, and high mountain lakes.
I have a 1960's reel with rotten line and an old eagle claw convertable pack rod. Cashflow is low. I hope to scrape up about $100 before the end of summer.
I have been surfing Craigslist and eBay. I'm overwhelmed with the selection. I fish mainly native cuts in the 6-9 inch range, rainbow planters in the 12 inch range and a occasional 12 - 16 trout or small mouth bass.
What should I be looking for as my first set up. What cheap rods/reels are acceptable to get the job done for a year or two? What weight? Action? Line? Like I said, I'm brand new.
