I got an Okuma Tempest. It is a 9 foot graphite rod with a decent reel. I took it out for the fist time on the Weber and had a ball. I caught 1 rainbow and a whitie, no browns. We were using nymphs. I missed a bunch of fish so I think i will land more with a little more practice under my belt. My brother caught a rainbow and 4 or 5 whities (no browns for him either)/
As for the rod it seemed to do great. It is light weight and seemed to cast really smooth (even though I am far from being a good caster).
I already have waders and boots so I will peice everything else together as I go.
Thanks again for all of your help. I am already itching to get back out there.
