[font "Comic Sans MS"]Scruffy knows his stuff and everything he said is right on.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]A starter kit is a great way to go. Later on if you stick with it, it becomes a great back up and trust me, you want a back up at all times.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]Either one will do the job. I prefer 6wt on open water, but I do get into some trout with size. A 6wt is great for tossing bigger flies and getting fish out of weedy places.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]One thing that doesn't come ith a starter combo is SINKING line which you will want for Stillwater.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]An Intermediate or Type II would be a good all around starter, but as summer comes, a faster sinking line might be in order.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]I tell you what, I started fly fishing (many years ago) and after catching fish that I just couldn't get to before, I was hooked. I have never touched a spinning outfit or bait again.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]There has been a couple of times that I got skunked (early on) while the chuckers didn't, but it was all a learning experience.[/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"]Now I take each NEW body of water as a challenge, and so far so good.[/font]
