Any recommendations for a babby's first fly rod kit? Have a decent amount of experience with conventional(?) fishing I've been eyeballing this one https://www.fishwest.com/redington-path-ii-outfit-with-crosswater-reel

Dangerllama posted:You might also check out the Orvis Clearwater kits too. What’s your budget, and how serious are you about getting into the Don't really have a budget. I mean I'm not looking to drop 1,500 on a rod but I'm willing to fork out some extra money for something that will last. I suppose about about as serious as a beginner could be. I've got quite the collection of lures for my bait caster and spinning rods if that says anything.

Dangerllama posted:Check out my post on page 1 of the new fishing thread. Pete Kutzer and Bumcast are two great sources for casting instruction. Learn the standard cast, water haul, and roll cast. Those will comprise 99.9% of the casting you do. Flies will depend on where you live, what you want to catch, and how you want to catch it (dries vs nymphs vs streamers). You’ll catch fewer fish on dries but it’ll teach you how to cast, and the rigging is much more straightforward, so I’d start there. Thanks Bought an 8.5' 5 weight Orvis clearwater kit
