I'm thinking of trying fly fishing for trout this year and later in the season going up to Pulaski, NY for some salmon fishing. The only problem is I know nothing about fly fishing nor do I have any fly fishing gear. Could someone point me in the right direction as to what gear I need? I've been looking at some fly rods and such but they are so expensive. I'd like a relativly cheap combo if possible to start with because I'm not even sure I'll like it. On the salmon side, could someone point me in the right direction of what size rod, reel, line test and lures/bait to use? I really like spinning reels but I've been looking at the bait casters. Which do you prefer? The heaviest rod I have is a 6'6" Med. spinner. I'm almost positive thats not heavy enough. I've been fishing almost all my life now and I've yet to try either of these. I'm really looking forward to it.
