Hi, I just got my first fly rod so I'm Nooo expert, but I got a 9'St. Croix 8wt for around $100 then the Lamson 3.5 Konicle reel for $140 so with the line and taxes it was just a little over $300.
I got free backing from Dave at Rip Tide Anglers (thanks Dave) and an invitation to come back and get some instruction using their practice rods.

still by the firelight
and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted river's call
