Thanks for the heads up. Would have never even known to look out for them as I'm wadding for the first time. 

I'm new to fly fishing (never even casted before lol) but if you're willing to put up with someone who's trying to figure out the ropes I'm in!

Thanks so much RiverRuns, the deal was too good to pass up. I'm now waiting eagerly and will report back once I get the combo!

I do usually head up to Algonquin a few times a year and have been having a blast catching smallies on a spinning rod. I can't wait to see what it's like with a fly rod. I have also been looking online on LL Beans store and the Streamlight combo is looking pretty nice too but I'm going to talk to the store first to see what advice they have. I would love to support a local store if I get the chance.

Lol, awesome boughner. I'm going to take all your suggestions and head to the shop downtown to have a look and to pick some brains but this definetly helps.
