{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: First fly set for Newbie in Alexandria, VA

Some starter advice--there will be PLENTY of opportunities for you to spend those LLBean coupons on fly fishing stuff.  Not saying you shouldn't get one of their rods (I have 2, and got my sister a quest package for xmas, they are great for the price), but don't feel pressured to shop for a rod there because you have them.

Hello everyone, 

I'd like to get my first fly rod and reel setup so I can start practicing at Four Mile Run.   (Mainly I've done some spin casting on the OBX in the past, but it's been a while since I've done any fishing).  

I have some free coupons at LLBean, so I was thinking one of their starter kits.  But I'm happy to head over to Orvis or Urban Angler in Alexandria if people I would get a better experience (and save the LLBean coupons for waders and other goodies).   

Biggest issue is finding practice time in between work and family (50 yr. old father), but I'm hoping I can get something together before trying for the shad runs in March (if I miss that, then maybe something later....)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  Leon.
