If you want to spend a bit more than a beginner's set up, the TFO BVK is an amazing rod for the price (about $280), and I have heard really great things about the Winston Passport series (available from the Bow River Troutfitters - downtown Calgary)
But the combo that was mentioned by jts1 above (Basspro - Professional series TFO rod, Hobbs Creek reel and generic line for $180) is a nice set up as well. I have this combo in a 3 weight and it's been great, but I upgraded the line to the cortland 333 for another $30. Have caught many fish on this set up.
This rod is medium action, so you get to "feel" the line more easily than on a fast action. Much easier to learn the dynamics of casting.
