[quote SdDryFly]I also forgot to mention that i am 23, and graduating college in may, and will be moving to an area I have never lived before and just starting a job. Basically what I am saying is that I don't have 400 dollars laying around to buy a rod,or 120 dollars to buy fly line. Just looking for a inexpensive starting combo that will allow me to catch a fish.[/quote]
I wish I could tell you that this can be done, but I really don't feel it can.
You could get lucky and catch one or two with this inexpensive outfit, but when you are talking Steelhead, it requires allot more than mountain Brook trout, or any wild trout.
If you really want to try steelheading and just can't afford a good set up, try attaching the fly to a spinning outfit (which will allow you to skimp on price. You can pick up an UGLY STICK and a good spinning reel for under $100.
Once you have formed the passion and the finances are better, then go for the fly gear
