Over 50 years of slinging a fly rod and have used them all, from Cherrywood to expensive sage's and Loomis. You will be happy with an Echo base 5wt for a rod and just about any reel would do, would suggest a Lamson Liquid as a reasonable choice. Wait for the Fishing hole spring sale and you should be able to get the rod for under $90 and a Liquid for under a $100. Don't be sucked into spending big bucks by anyone.
