Agree with all the above. Just FYI there are three Sportsman's Warehouse stores in the big Phoenix valley. So depending on where you are, you may want to visit the one in Goodyear/Avondale, or the one in West side of Phoenix, or the one south of Superstition Freeway (60) in Mesa on Greenfield road. If you go to their website (sportsmanswarehouse.com) you cannot order online....but do a store location search and it will provide you with the store location, the managers name, e-mail, and telly number.

BTW....just because you are going to be in Phoenix is no reason not to have a fly rod with you. There are numereous Urban Lakes in Phoenix Metro. Goodyear/Avondale has many many lakes that are state run (as opposed to classified "Urban Lakes") and you only need a state license, not an urban license. There is good fishing south of Tucson this time of year, as well as in the White Mountains of Show Low where there are over 50 lakes to trout fish, and 800 miles of trout streams. I am not that familiar with Oak Creek, Lake Pleasant, etc. But there is also the string of lakes outside of Phoenix, Canynon Lake, Saguaro Lake, and Apache Lake, as well as Roosevelt Lake and East of Globe is San Carlos lake. And I am leaving out a ton of other fisheries. Alamo Lake....Salt River, Colorado River, Lees Ferry, Lake Havasu.....

Just FYI
