If this is your very first foray into the Sport and taking into account where you will be fishing the best thing you could do is VISIT the Bakewell Fly Fishing Shop and ask Peter to sort every thing out for you. Tell him your budget and he will see that you get exactly what you need and that your new tackle will serve you well for years and years.
