Fly rod and reel

[riverdog]

I would look at trying to get a Redington RS3 rod. Cabelas still has some models on sale for $99-129. Where do you think you are going to fish? Utah has a handful of medium size waters where a 9ft 5wt rod is a OK choice. We have hundreds of smaller streams where that would be a very poor choice. If you think you might fish these smaller streams as well a 8ft 3 or 4 wt rod would be a all around good choice.
