>pic>>2058848Well first decide if you want to spin fish or fly fish.
>spin fishingA 5'-8' ultralight or light rod, a 1500 size reel, and 6 pound mono along with a box full of Inline spinners, small crank baits, small jigs, and small bombers will get you a long way. Spend about $60 each on your rod and reel and it will last you many seasons as long as you dont whack trees with it, step on it, or close it in a car door/window
>fly fishingThis has more nuance. A 5 weight rod is standard but I've never been a big fan of compromises. A 9 foot 4 weight will handle most any trout and up to 2x
tippet.it will do dry flies beautifully, as well as small streamers and light nymph rigs. A 6 weight will have more backbone and do better with bigger streamers, sinking lines, wind, bigger nymph rigs, mice, but it can still do a #14 Adam's delicately. If you get a 4 weight, buy a first full of leaders, a fly box, and a couple dozen flies.
Must have: parachute Adam's, elk hair caddis, hares ear nymph, pheasant tail nymph, wooly buggers, glo-bugs, zebra midges
With a fly box full of those flies you could go to near any state, any time of the year, and catch fish. Is there a hot local pattern? Local fly shop owner will know. Buy some waders while you're there and expect to spend $150+ on a decent rod, reel, and line combo. The echo base combo is okay, as is the redington and orvis entry level set up. Pick up stocking foot waders and wading boots if you have the money.
