My 2 cents - Buy a medium priced fly rod, a cheaper reel, and the best fly line you can afford.
For fishing lakes go with a 9ft 6 weight with a med-fast action. I like Reddington but also have had good luck with Cabalas Rods.
In fact last year I picked up a 9ft 6wt Cabala's Lsi fly rod for fishing lakes and I have loved it. I put a Cabalas Prestige plus reel on it and loaded it and a couple extra spools with Scientific Anglers Intermediate line, a type 3 sinking, and a floating line. I have had great luck with this rod on trout, bass, and even wipers from my kick boat and on shore.
