Hi all,
I just spent the weekend in Vermont and went on my first ever fly fishing trip. We fished the White River and I caught and released a 20-inch smallmouth bass! Needless to say, I am "hooked" on the sport and am looking to get my own gear. I really don't want to spend a ton of money. Can someone recommend the best inexpensive set-up for me? I am a woman (have no clue if this matters), and I'll be fishing rivers and lakes in the new england area--probably fishing for bass and trout, predominantly.
If you could suggest some good brands, as well as what type of gear a beginner needs, and possibly some websites that are good, I would be so appreciative.

Thanks for your help!
