Hey Zen thank's for the mr.. I looked up the fly rod combo in the Catalog and it's called the Three Forks Graphite Combos. You also get a free fly fishing video with it. I think I will order one as I'm in the market for an 8wt. And try it out on steelheading. As for buying flies go to www.washingtonflyfishing.com and click on the link that says hill's discount flies. Most flies sell for .85 cents. Zen,I'm not knocking lake fishing. It's just that I never got the hang of it. Jim S.
