I'm looking to put together an ultralight fly fishing setup for under $150 bucks to bring backpacking with me. Ideally something that breaks down real small. I know about Tenkara but because I am a beginner fly fisherman (haven't even caught a fish yet), I want to learn how to master using a reel.
So far I've found these:
Wild Water Fly Fishing "Wild Country" 3 Weight, 5 Foot 6 Inches, 4 Piece Freshwater Fishing Rod
Cortland Travel Fly Fishing Outfit Combo 9'0" 5/6 Weight 4-Piece
For the Wild Water rod, I'd need to buy a reel which would probably make it more expensive than the Cortland. A 5 foot 6 inch rod seems awful small but it has the added benefit of being super compact for carrying on my back. Weight/size is crucial.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, any recommendations of areas in NEPA where a 4 hour or less hike can put you right next to a stream/creek in solitude? I had a great recommendation already in another thread.
