I need to get back into fly fishing. It's been a few years for me.
I have a nice Sage 6wt rod, an Orvis 5wt, and a Reddington 4wt. While the Sage is a very nice rod, it's a very stiff action and 6wt is a little much for Colorado. So I only use that one for lakes with high wind. The Reddington I think is my favorite, despite being the cheapest of the bunch. That light 4wt and it's limp action is great for smaller Colorado streams. The Orvis is the best overall general purpose rod. You could use it for most anything, except ocean fishing.
I like the Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock reels, and that's what all my rods are equipped with now. I think it's a BBS II on the Reddington and Orvis rods, and a BBS III on the Sage, but I'd have to go look at the reels to know for sure. Don't know if Orvis still even makes that model, but it was a pretty decent middle of the road reel back in its day. With the size trout we have in Colorado (other than the lunkers found in large deep lakes), reel choice doesn't really matter. You can easily get by with a really inexpensive one. Stripping a trout in by hand is not a whole lot tougher than stripping in a fly. You don't need an expensive drag system. If you ever hear your drag system kick in, that probably means you have it set too light (when stream fishing - lakes are different).
I also have a portable fly tieing bench that I built, which hasn't been used for two decades. It's down in the basement somewhere, alongside all my other abandoned hobbies.
