The one that puts tasty fish into my mouth

Haha. Well, fly fishing is very different than spin. It’s much more technical and challenging. I would recommend going with a friend that knows what they are doing and gives you a casting lesson in an open field before going. A 5 weight rod and an Orvis level quality reel would be a good start. Always ask a local fly shop what’s hitting and listen to people that know the river. If you’re gonna do spin fishing, just buy a middle of the road spin reel and a medium weight spin rod. I would also recommend going out with someone that knows what they are doing to help you learn how to tie lures on and cast. Definitely go with someone that knows how to fish to a tackle shop and fill up a proper tackle box before going out. The rest is all just trial and error. Very heuristic.
