What a drag, or lack there of. Fish don't break rods, fisherman do! Finesse, working the reel and the rod, not just hook and haul. ( sorry Remo, I'm not telling you this)
Nobody has suggested used gear. You'll need more than a rod. Check KSL classifieds, likely find someone who's given up the sport for lent. Might find waders and a box of flies.
I like the reels where you can get a spare spool. Rig different lines, if you wanna swap floating, vs sinking say.
There is a whole flyfishing board. Might get more better answers there. Over here some wise ass master of bait might suggest you tip your fly with some crawler, or use marshmallows and powerbait as a strike Iindicator!
