Everyone,
Seeing lots of fly-fishing threads related to which pole, reel, etc. I read through them all and I'll start with saying I have no fly-fishing experience. The goal of this thread is to help others and myself put together the best beginner/Intermediate budget friendly fly fishing set up for Trout on the creeks and rivers.

Recently re-located from Northern Idaho to SE Idaho near the snake.

Reading from other threads I picked up a TFO NXT Black from Sierra for $79.90. 9' length in 5W.

TFO NXT BLACK

Now ive done a little research on reels. Liquid Lamson, Sage Spectrum, Orvis Clearwater, TFO is what I narrowed it down to.

Need advice and links to good deals for..

1. Reel

2.Backer and Line (Size)

3.Tippet (Size)

4. Fly's for South Fork Snake you'd recommend. And a tip for methods (Nymph or Dry flies?)

5. Any good pack or chest rig that would be great to start with.

I'm essentially asking the group to put together a Tikka 6CM in a Rokstok.
