I am currently looking into buying alot of new Steelhead flyfishing gear. Ive trout fished for along time but only steelheaded for the last year, always using borrowed gear. After I caught my first fish on the Sauk last winter, I just cant get enough and so am now looking for my own equipment. I just finished building myself a 9'6" Sage RPL+, but still do not have a reel or line. I am wondering if anyone has any sugestions on a good flyreel (Under 200) and what kinda flyline I should get. (Shooting head, sink tip?). The rivers Ill be fishing the most are the Nooksack,Suak, and Skagit. Im also wondering if anyone has any sugestions on a good pontoon boat? For all the guys that do fish the Skagit, Sauk, and Nooksack any flies that I should use? Thanks for all help-
