Looks like a very nice way to either get started with fly fishing...or enhance what you already have! Good luck on the water. From what I can tell...lots of nymphs, some wet flies and a few streamers. That's a good assortment and will catch a number of fish species!

Nice haul Ivan. You definitely can't beat the price. Post some pictures of what you catch on the rig.

At least you can learn for free. Better than spending money and deciding later it's not for you.

Wish I lived closer...I'd be happy to get you going in the right direction with free casting lessons and techniques!
The best advice I could give is to let your natural athletic ability take over and not worry too much about all the mechanics of the process. Sure...there are some fundamentals that lead to a solid game plan...but overall it's just about propelling a line with a very light bait at the end!

Ivan I've tried fly fishing a couple times.
Just never got into it.
I have converted a fly rod into a spinning rod. A fun project n learning experience.
Have fun 👍

Ivan, run away fast. Drop the pole and flies, tell me where you dropped um, I will dispose of them properly. Once you get started there is no going back very addicting.
Seriously nice find. Hope you have a chance to get on the water and use them. Lots of fun, ENJOY!
If you could provide a little more information on the rod, i.e. length, any additional markings on the rod to help determine the size (weight). I would be happy to provide assistance in getting started.
