Welcome to the forum, this is definitely a great forum. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the fly, but there are many members here who might. Cheers.

anything pink or orange with lots of crystal flash ...or glo /nuke eggs are your next best bet...

Youre local fly shop/specialist will give the best advice in your area.As per size and type.Sreamers would be a way to start.Or just go out to the stream your fishing and flip over a few rocks.Crawfish or stone nimphs would be a go.If there are a lot of shiners then go with that.A single egg wouldnt hurt at all.Most local shops will post on a billboard,water temp and fly types and sizes to go with.Good luck in your venture,see the pros first.Saves me a lot of homework.

Depends on where you're planning on going but a good starter would be a 9' to 9'6" #6/7 weight rod with a medium or medium-fast action, add a 7 weight floating line (weight forward taper is easier to cast) and a reel and you're good to go.

 

Don't worry too much about the reel, it's a line store and not much else especially if you're trouting so spend your cash on a decent rod and line. If you can get someone to give you some casting lessons with your own gear once you have it, that'll help you along.
