Well, I pulled the trigger on an LL Bean 8 Piece setup. I looked at all sorts of brands, models, you name it. I looked local, not so local, mail order. In the end, the LL Bean jumped out at me. The few reviews on the site were all good and it seems like a decent setup. But what do I know <grin>. In time, I will learn if this setup is right for me.
This is what I purchased.

I plan on taking some classes and learning some basics first. Also have a Cabelas DVD I picked up on Flyfishing and will see if that can help but I feel some local hands on classes will do well. In fact, they have some classes also where they take you out where you can actually fish so I plan on taking those for sure. Next year though as the local place have done their last class for 2009 and will start up again January.
Plus I need to get a fishing license so I will do that Jan 1 so I get a full year of use. 8-)
