speaking of fly fishing

I am moving to a place that has a few ponds on the property and I have wanted to learn to fly fish for a while. What do you fly fisherman recommend to use for a 1st time setup for pond fishing? It'll be bream and bass to start. I would imagine my 10 year old will want to learn as soon I start, so i don't want to break the bank here, just looking for a good value to learn with and pass on to him if he's interested.

Cabela's wind river 9ft 5wt is a decent and cheap little set up.
TFO for more money.
Orvis' cheapest isn't bad either

Another word of caution...you 10 year old will surpass you QUICK....my 9 year old daughter and I floated the Green River (Utah) last summer for 3 days and she had only handled a fly rod maybe twice for an hour prior to that....she can fish a dropper rig now as good as anyone and can fish an indicator WAY better than I ever could! Fly rods are ideal for a kid because they haven't adapted the brute strength of doing things that most adult men think will fix any and all manner of ills....fly fishing is all about technique and subtlety....big hulking man strength is a barrier to success.

Orvis Encounter 9' 5WT is a great starter set.
