Buy a fly box. Pick up an assortment of lake flies and river flies. Pick up a small contain of split shot and a few corkie floats

Take lessons from fish tales.

Then off you go.

Alternatively look for a deal on FB marketplace or on here.
Fish tales is where my wife got me a float the bow fly fishing day last season. It was so much fun. It was my wife's first time. and my first time fly fishing. One of the guys at her plant brought his gear in on night for her to practice casting, lol. She was a natural. Come fishing day she was slaying them, landed a huge rainbow. She tried to not look too happy as it was my day, but there was no hiding it. lol. I got out fished and had a good time doing it. I think we will do it again this year. Our guide was fantastic.
I would assume that for about a $1000 or so I could get gear, waders, tools and such and be done.
