Rod, try the Pitsford Pirates lines on here.
You wont go far wrong, many happy customers at a good price.

Rod, much is decided by what kind of fishing you intend to do,Trout(bank,Boat, river, stillwater) Salmon even..let us know and I think you will get some advice.

Hi rod123,I am pretty new to flyfishing myself,i have got 2 nearly new lines that you can have.1xfloating & 1xintermediate both by airflo.At the end of the year i had more money than sense,so i bought 4 different lines to use.I'm happy with what i bought,but you can only use one at a time,so i would rather let you try them,than have them sit in my bag doing nothing.If you are interested pm me with your address and i will take care of the rest.
cheers pete.
ps.line #wf6.

What kind of waters will you be starting to fly fish on?

If you are going to fish still waters it is important to have at least a sinking line as well as a floating line. It is actually more important than the rod or just about any other item of tackle...
