ive always wanted one for the fly hatch on ky lake. what would be a descent priced rod and reel, weight, etc for casting dry fly and maybe sinking nymph size baits. i found a descent sized creek that may have brook trout as well.

Look at TFO. good rods and reasonable
Get a Hobbs Creek reel to match it $40? You don't need an awesome reel for bass or panfish.
Weight forward floating line ought to make that thing work just fine.

I've got two cheap ones but they will cast a fly.
I got mine at the end of the season Walmart mark down.
I was making my usual pass thru the sporting goods section one day and there they were $10 & $12 respectively .
arty:
They were originally priced around $100,
My Dad and I fished them for gills when I was growing up.
Nothing like a nice quiet morning catching blue gill when all the sudden a 3 or 4 pound bass takes the fly!
It's on then.
When the flies hatched we fished a black gnat behind a yellow or white small popping bug.
Nothing like rolling that fly under a bush or dock and hauling in a hand sized blue gill.

If I was to buy a single "do all" flyrod, it'd be a 9' 5-weight. I'd get a small flybox and stock it with size 12 parachute adams, size 16 pheasant tails, a handful of small poppers, and some size 14 hares ear softhackles. It'd be deadly for trout and bream.
But........ I've got a bunch of flyrods and I tie flies. I keep an 8' 4-weight Cabelas Willow Creek combo that someone gave me in my vehicle at all times. As well as a box stuffed full of bream flies, hemostats, and a spool of 6# flouro. I drive quite a bit for work and it's nice being able to stop for awhile and make a few casts when I'm near a body of water. Which is pretty much everywhere in E TN.
