I'm starting to take an interest in getting into fly fishing. the wife and I met some folks that have a place on the Kenai with an invite to visit with our kids. In addition, we have a number of lakes and rivers I can fish here in TX as well as our annual vacation to Corpus and the gulf.

From some basic research, it looks like a 7wt might be in order. Any suggestions on a beginners rig? How about resources for learning the craft of fly fishing, books, videos etc?
