Fly fishing is an exciting sport and it has unique challenges. Just choosing the equipment you'll need presents a challenge, but by doing a little research first you'll be an expert at picking your fly fishing equipment in no time.
Picking out your equipment can be a lot of fun or it can be a daunting task that you're not looking forward to. Realize up front that you can end all the mystery by picking out a combo pack that typically includes the fly fishing rod and reel, the line and leader, and usually a an accessory pack to get you started on the flies.
If you do decide to purchase your fishing equipment separately, realize that your rod, reel, and line will all need to coordinate with each other. The fly fishing rod and reel will typically have numbers on them; this number corresponds to the line weight and you'll want to coordinate the proper line weight with that of the rod and reel.
You can usually find a helpful salesperson in a fly shop. They are used to assisting beginners who aren't exactly sure of what they need. It's important to realize that the equipment you purchase is dependent upon what you will be fishing for and where you will be fishing. The salesperson will probably ask you these questions so he can select the right equipment for you.

Even if you decide to go with a combo pack the first time out, it's important that you buy that in person in a brick and mortar store instead of online. As you gain experience into the exact equipment you need, you'll be more qualified to buy something sight unseen.
However, for your first fly fishing excursion, you'll want to be able to physically feel and cast the line before you buy the rod and the reel.
Once you go on your first fly fishing vacation, you'll get a much better idea of what works for you and what you might need to replace.
