I will be honest .. I am not fond of kits. That said i would ,go to a fly shop ... and talk to the guys there.Buying a kit from a big box store wont get you the support a good fly shop can give .Honestly a few dollars more buys you a wealth of information and casting support that will help you alot more in the long run .When I honestly made the decision I wanted to Really become a fly fisherman , my local shop helped set me up with a great rod and reel ... cut me breaks on my fly tying equipment and took the time to teach me casting ... tying lessons non gratis ....just my opinion.
