Most guys opt for a 10 weight. Anyways, that's what I was suggested.

One of the important things about picking out the flyline is getting the right weight of course and getting the right line for the water you fish. Some lines, if used in a cold enviroment will coil up and distort a bit. This will result in hard casting and hard fishing. Pick your line carefully.

Unfortunately, you have entered a world of expensive gear but don't be afraid, there is a lot of gear out there. I would try the fly shop that is advertised on this board. You get a discount because you are a member of this board.

Another thing you are going to want to look into is stripping baskets. These are very important. It basically holds the line in a nice coil in the basket so once you finish stripping your fly in, you can make a nice cast out without any knots in the line. It also keeps your stripped line out of the water where it can get tangled with the line out there already. Another thing it does is keeps your expensive fly line out of the rocks where it can get chewed up.
