New to fly fishing and need some gear?

Hey i live on vancouver island and want to get into fly fishing. I want to fish for steelhead and trout in the rivers and lakes as well as coho in tidal waters, what type of setup would you recommend for a beginner I have already purchased waders and shoes and all the accessories i need, im just not sure on what rod and reel to get, as well as line weight and tippet. I was thinking of a 5w or 6w line with like a 2x or 3x tippet. I understand how line weights and tippet strengths work, i just want some second opinions on what to buy before i buy. I have around 200$ to spend (give or take ) and would like something saltwater proof aswell. Thanks ( and i have a rod 9 foot rod that my dad gave me a while ago thats nice just a little dated so i can use that if the reel is more expensive or both wont fit in my range, but i still need a reel) Thanks

I would recommend looking into a Cortland rod and reel combo in a 6wt. The reason that i recommend cortland is they have an excellent warranty on their products. It doesn't matter what you do or how old it is, they will repair/replace your rod or reel. I know people that have closed them in car doors and got them replaced FREE ( minus shipping). Since you are just getting started, this rod will work great and you wont notice a quality difference between this and a top of the line setup.

The tippet material will depend on the exact fish that you are targeting that day and the water conditions. If it is really clear and slow you will need a lighter weight, if it is fast and dirty i would go with a heavier weight leader and tippet.

Good luck and tight lines!
