Beginner's Outfit

[lastchance]

I realize everyone will have their own favorites, but does anybody care to share their ideas on what they feel is a good beginner's fly outifts? The reason I asked because this is for a man, not a child, that's financially secure, but who has never fly fished. I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $150.00 or so.
Thanks,

Check out some of the outfits Cabela's has . Good value and a modest investment until you discover you 'have to have ' that higher end outfit!

Yeah, there's a lot of inexpensive fly rod combos out there that I think are great for the beginner ~ (and speaking of Cabelas)

Scientific Anglers Outfits are around $100 have have good components. Any of the Cortland outfits are pretty nice too. Both come with good flylines, which is often not the cast with lower cost outfits. Redington Crosswater outfits are very good too.

Bruse,

For a beginners outfit, or for that matter, any person, the Albright's Topwater fly rod/reel/line outfit is hard to beat.

Right now they have it in the 5/6 weight size, perfect for trout and panfish and smallies.

I have given several of these to newbies and they really liked them. I did a little practice casting on one first and I must admit, it casts really well.

Take a look at Albright's.

For $60 plus shipping you can't go wrong.

OTW 90562 5/6 WF5F or WF6F 9' 2 A TW 5/6 $59.99
