That's actually a 9 ft. (length) and 5-weight fly rod. You want to match the rod with the correct size reel as a 4/5/6 reel will be best suited for that rod. The rod pictured is perfect for specs/reds
My suggestion, do lots or reading, and asking questions .. including on the OB. If there are no dedicated fly fishing shops in LC, it wouldn't hurt to find someone local who is experienced or visit the Orvis shop in BR to examine and educate you on all the items you have. Since you're at the novice/beginning stage, act like a student and become a sponge.
FYI - I'm in the same boat as you right now. I recently purchased a "like new, used" fly rod & reel with several lures, I just need more hands on guidance and real world fishing experience.
Basics to familiarize yourself

That's what I'm doing. The OB has a fly fishing thread linked above. I'm chopping through it. I think I just need to get out there and practice in the field for a bit then on the water.
