I thnk you are doing the right thing. In fact, I did the exact same thing as you. I bought a $20 shakespere combo several years ago and it was not until about 18 months of so ago I really started using it.
Well, a long story short.. I got hooked on fly fishing and have since invested in a better rod and reel, plus a lot of the extras of the sport such as flies, fly boxes, clothing, boots, waders, wading boots...etc..
I will tell you this quite honestly. You are on one of the best if not the best bulletin board for learing about fly fishing ... and in fact... any type of fishing you may want to try. I have found that the people here are very knowledgeable, very outgoing, very willing to share the knowledge and experiences, very willing to help people new to the sport.. and all around just good people to talk too... as some of like to say.. we are an extended family to each other.. and got to tell you.. I for one would not have it any other way...
