Im thinking about getting into fly fishing and would like some help on picking a versatile rod. I live in maryland so we have small shallow creeks as well as deep and wide rivers right next to eachother.
Id like a rod that i could use primarily for trout and other like sized fish, but id also like to be able to catch some snakehead or bass if i wanted to.
I want the trout fishing to feel exciting and not just overpowering the fish, would this be possible while still being able to withstand snakehead and bass? Or would i be better off just using my spinning rod for snakehead and bass while i save money to buy a 2nd fly rod.
What wt and length should i get? Im also open to any specific rod recommendations. My budget is $200 for the rod and reel combo
