Alright guys, I'm seriously considering taking the plunge and getting into fly fishing.
I enjoy catching trout, small bass, perch, and panfish on an ultralight spinning and BFS setup so I figured that I might as well learn how to fly fish just to expand my arsenal of skills and to have fun with it as well. Most of my fishing is done in lakes, small ponds, and narrow rivers/creeks.
I'm looking for a fly setup that's around 3wt or 4wt and very portable as I bicycle and backpack to most of my fishing locations. FWIW none of my ultralight or BFS rods exceed 5'6" in length.
My budget is around $250 CAD which isn't a lot from my research but I don't mind spending a bit more if that means a huge leap in quality. I prioritize quality, portability, and ease of use over price. I'd prefer if I can get stuff in Canada than importing from the USA.
If a fly fisherman can point me in the right direction or provide me some recommendations to start with it would be much appreciated.
