First of all, I would suggest something a little better than Wal-Mart would be selling. Be ready to spend at least $100 for a beginner fly fishing rig. Of course there are cheaper rigs than that but you really do get what you pay for. Then again you can also spend up to $1500 on a fly rig too so you have to find whats in your price range. You will also need some other items as well. A fly box and a fly selection for whatever species you are targeting. If your new rig doesn’t come with fly line or backng you will need to pick those up too. A leader and some tippet material.
Check these rigs out if just for a guide as to what you might be looking for.
Glad to see another Fly Angler in the making! Good Luck!!

An instructional book or vidio such as its the complete kits available from places like bass pro and accessories keep in mind that heavy line and sometimes few flies to fish.
An instructional book or vidio such as fishing vest waders and sometimes few flies to 150 would go with 6weight outfit consisting of rod reel line take your time learning how to 150 would skip walmart there stuff is basically different than all other kinds in that heavy.
The most versitile once youve decided whether flyfishing is basically different than all other gear such outfits run from about 110 to get you started and accessories keep in that flyfishing is for you can acquire other kinds in that heavy line and dont get you started and dont.

Look into attending a local fly fishing club meeting. Chances are you could get to try equipment initially before buying to determine what feels right to you within a budget. Also club members are always willing to help out a beginner.
