Wow:chuckle:
That being said I was a die hard single hander till a friend talked me into trying his rods, he worked for Sage, and off I went. It took me a good three months of hard practice to get what it's all about but when it clicks you are good to go. I would say a used Meiser 6/7/8 and that would cover the Ump, Des, and many other rivers, Meiser lives in Ashland not to far from you give him a call.
Take lessons or a guide for the first time if you can afford it. This will cut the learning curve a ton as they will put you in the right direction fast.
Beware!:devil:
You will want more for different rivers, this stuff is addicting like a drug.:Eyecrazy:
Oh and by the way welcome to the site you're going to have fun.
I fish the north ump. Two or three times a year it is a magical river.
