Anyone around these parts partake in fly fishing?

I've decided that after years and years and years of being an ultralight fisherman I'm going to try my hand at tying on a fly. I kicked off this endevour as many of us do: Googling, YouTubing, and then checking out the current gear at the online retailers.

I asked around and got some advice from locals on whiat size rod and reel to get. It ranged from 4 wt to 6wt and 8' to 9'. At first I picked up a 3 wt 7'6" rod and loved it. If it wasn't for another customer at the store I would have probably brought home a rod that would be good for catching bait.

A friendly customer advised me on my ultimate selection which was a 5 wt Cabelas Three Forks rod and a Cabelas Wind River Size #2 reel. Both incredibly priced.
