Fly fishing Rod and Reel
Cabela's Prestige Plus Fly Reel $30.00 shipped

Mid-arbor design for plenty of backing capacity
Molded, paddle-style handle
Three sizes available
We took the value-packed performance of our popular Prestige series and stepped everything up a notch. A new disc-drag system sports a cork drag washer and adjusts to a wider range of settings. The cast-aluminum frame has an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, and the new mid-arbor design yields plenty of backing capacity for battling long-running fish.

Cabela's Traditional II Fly Rod (9 weight I think) $80.00 shipped

Cabela's Traditional rods have long been a customer favorite for delivering premium performance at an affordable price. The updated Traditional II rods take this performance to a whole new level. These are fast-action rods for the frugal fly-fisherman. They are constructed of high-modulus graphite that generates high line speeds. The rod has appealing aesthetics with the combination of an olive-colored blank and dark rosewood reel seat (fighting butt on 8- and 9-weight rods).

I also have a vest and Net I will let go for $35.00 together. shipped

Very nice set here but generally when buying a fly fishing rod, I keep a few things in mind, the most important of which is the formula -

Fly Line Weight = Fly Rod Weight = Fly Reel Weight
This has made my fishing experience get better significantly. Of course, this rule is not hard and fast; however, it works. If you use a 9-weight rod, it only makes sense for your line weight and rod weight to be the same too, especially if you are a beginner. Here is a great resource to help you choose the most suitable fly reels for you.

Go to this video too touches on a few basics.
