First off I have to admit I know nothing about fishing. I couldnt even identify the fish if I did catch one.There is so much information its kind of overwhemling not sure where to begin.

I live in Washington State. Im often out on the sound or lake washington.

I am not sure what kind of fishing rod to buy. I just baught one and im pretty sure its the wrong rod..

Its 7' rod with a pen 500 reel. It doesnt have a level wind..

I want to fish for salmon and lake trout. Is that rod a ok starting point?

Were should I post such questions?

Thanks in advance!!
