Hello Folks..... I live in Southeast Louisiana and I love fishing. I grew up fishing with my dad in the salt marsh areas casting lures...mostly red fish and speck rigs. I am totally new to fly fishing and I would like to get some input from experienced fly fishers on what to buy as an absolute beginner. I'm planning a trip to Colorado and plan to go fly fishing at some high mountain lakes & streams near Crested Butte.

Can you recommend a good beginner set up that I can grow with as I learn and get more experience. I want to be able to use this set up fishing in Colorado and fresh water fishing in Louisiana as well.... Thanks!!!
