Agree that you can make what you have work.

Since you asked for suggestions.

1.) Reddington stuff (already mentioned) is great entry level gear.
2.) The "generalist" do all trout rod is the 9" 5wt. Most people that start trout fishing, whether still water, or rivers start with this length/weight set up
3.) If you want to try new, the Orvis Clearwater combo is a pretty good deal. I used it for years before upgrading. Can get the rod/reel for ~$300.

The costco in Wenatchee had a plueger/fenwick 5/6 9' combo last week for (if I remember right) $89.  Four piece rod with a case.  Don't know much about them myself though.
