Glad to see this topic return. More good pointers. Went to George's link for the instruction video and looking forward to getting started. I ordered a 7 weight rod/reel a couple of weeks ago from Bass Pro shops which has yet to arrive however I received your kit in the mail today George, about an hour ago, and anxious to get started. Have a ticket in hand and should be back in Thailand on 12 August, hope the fly rod makes it before I travel. Many thanks to both George and ML for all their insight!
