Rod for beginner at fly fishing

[alex_noel]

Can you recommend a beginner fly rod and reel (currently for a medium small river, fishing for medium to large trout. River isn't shallow enough to wade. It's the River Eden in Fife Scotland)

Have a look at Glasgow Angling website. I have not fluff chucked for ages but I recall Shakespeare do some value for money rods and reels. They will advise I am sure. From memory a 5/6 rating might be OK but others may know better.
