Unless your friends are going to be fishing the LFZ I would stick with a noodle. Just way more control for your first time up there. Go with a 6 lb fluro leader to a microswivel. Put a small shot just above the swivel. Drift Fly, egg sack, bead just off the bottom. Cast to 10 or 11 and your good to go. You can pick up a Browning Steelhead Noodle at Bass Pro for around 60-70 and it is a great rod. TO will put a spinning on the fly stick to keep mobile and not carry two setups and it works just fine.
