Hey guys! I'm new here so be kind ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
I have recently decided that though I love my Xbox and computer, I need to be spending more time outdoors. To that end I have decided to take up fishing again. It has been a long time since I've been in the game and I'm a little out of practice. To be honest the last time I seriously fished was when I was in Cub Scouts. I'm 24 now.
From what I've heard, from friends and reading articles around the internet, fishing Steelhead seems to be the most enjoyable. I think this is what I want to be doing. I have a few questions about it, though. What kind of rigging do I need and what specific equipment might you guys recommend? I've been reading a lot about 8.5' medium action rods, spinning reels, and whatever else, but I must admit I'm confused by all of it. What makes a good Steelhead rod? What about a good Steelhead reel? Are some brands better than others? Is anything made here in Oregon?
I guess I just need help putting my equipment together. Also, I could use some help finding a spot. I'm in Klamath Falls for the summer for work so somewhere local would be nice, but I'm willing to travel.![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
