Please help a noob

Thanks for the tips. My rod and reel should arrive at the store this week so when I'm there I'll pick up some 4 and 6lb fluoro.

I did buy a pair of Rivendell Z-Tech waders. It sounds like Rivendell went out of business but I've found no major complaints about their products online. I know a zippered wader concerns some but they use a well known waterproof zipper (Riri). It'll also be nice to unzip if it gets a little hot. They werent expensive either.

I won an auction for 2 pairs of Stearns neoprene booties, the one's with gravel guards. It looks like they are now Hodgmans branded, the Lakestream model to be exact. The guy who sold me the strike indicators also sent me a furled leader for free (well nothing's free in the end).

I think I'm all ready to go (still working on my patience and temper though [blush]). I want to thank everybody for their help. You are all very helpful, honest, and knowledgeable.

Oh, flygoddess, I seen a great license plate holder for you on a car on the way home from Mill Creek. It said "Reel Women Fly Fish"
