Maybe it's a good idea to buy a good reel and fly line then see if you want a dedicated fly rod later.

I'm actually talking about the tenkara technique, which is an old Japanese style of fishing where you don't use a reel at all! I had never heard of it before last night but it seems like it would be right up my ally, perfect for the spruce run creek (aka my backyard) too like the guy above said! It's totally different and really interesting so I'm heavily considering giving it a try, just wanted to see if anyone else had given it a try too.
