I'd suggest a lesson or two with a professional - will cost you or a friend to get a few tips

I don't know much about fly fishing so I can't really help you on this.
I'm not sure if there are any experienced fly angles left on FM these days.

The equipment that you will need will depend totally on whaere you intend to do your fly fishing; river, stream,m lake, reservoir etc.
For example a nice light little stream #3 rod will be usuless in a boat in a lock or reservoir.
Tell us a little more about where you intend to fish and I'm sure that we can assist.
Welcome to FM too.

Not too sure about the rod etc in that deal but try and read some reviews online and ask people what they use.
A #7 weight is a good option if doing lots of stillwater fishing.
However, check out this website below for some bargain rod options.

For a good fly line at a reasonable price check out Barrio lines

Don't spend too much on a reel as it essentially just holds your line.
Some good deals look on the site below or trawl the internet for the best bargains.
Greys Fly Reels
Whatever you do, don't buy masses of flys as you will probably never use them.
Just buy some good quality tippet material and tie strong knots
