well, this is my opinion. i am by no means a master fly fisherman, however i have yet to go wrong with a 5 weight or 7 weight. i have run the gaumet of fish on them also. from blue gill to a king salmon in oregon, even on a 7 weight. check out cabelas, they have combos priced pretty decently. i was starting to get the hang of it about a year ago and got sent to korea, now im in germany and back at it. im aout to lay down some serious money and buy either a sage or g-loomis, havent decided yet. in my opinion a 5 weight is a great starter, but go with what you feel comfortable with. i myself have alot to learn about fly fishing and i have been doing it for 8 to 9 years now and love it.
