Has since turned into my backup/loaner rod/reel, but a great combo, for an even better price. Free shipping even. A great starter/weekend warrior setup.

I got a TFO Lefty Kreh Professional Series rod for xmas. I have only been out to use it a couple of times but so far it has treated me very well (a HUGE upgrade over the old Berkley Cherrywood aka "Canadian Tire Special" I had previously). Also, these rods come with a no fault lifetime warranty.
Shop around though, you could save yourself alot of money. I found a fly shop in Montana where I could order it online for about 70% of the cost if I had bought it locally (including shipping).
I think it'd be a good idea to go down to a fly shop and cast the rods before you buy something though. Different people have different casting strokes and will therefor find different rods easier to cast than others.
This flyfishing out here is so over the top, as far as equipment goes. Flyfished all my life. If you spend more than $150 that's your call for rod, reel and line. You don't need to spend to catch fish. Skill is priceless.
