I'm looking for a good starter kit for learning to fly fish.....?
I want to get started fly fishing, but was wondering if there are starter kits where you get the basics all in one package. Is there such a thing? And what brands should I be looking for, for the best quality?

There are several starter kits that contain all the basics- your budget will determine which way to go somewhat.
If you are not certain you will stick with it, then you might want to go with a cheaper kit, like the Martins. However, the overall quality is not there, and the lack of, may make it more difficult to learn. If you stick with it, you may soon want to upgrade, so if you can afford it, I would recommend you start with a higher quality outfit from the beginning.
Scientific anglers makes a pretty good kit. around 80 $
Cortland makes a solid kit, too, not sure on the price, probably close to $100.
Okuma makes a decent started, around 120.
For my money, the Temple form rods makes an excellent kit as well, around 179, and will NOT need to upgrade, quality is excellent. I use these rods and I have owned and fished rods as much as 3-4 times as much, expense wise.
Good Luck

There are a number of basic starter kits available. Check out Cortland, Martin and Scientific Anglers for moderately priced kits that include everything you need to get started.
Ebay is also a good source:
