pretty sure they stock the Snake regularly
all I know is that we just went to the local tackle shop, rented some fly rods, bought some flys, and never having trout fished in our entire lives, destroyed them
I caught one with my bare hands

Go to Bass Pro or get on-line and get a Temple Fork Outfitters 5/6 weight combo. Get some boot-foot breathable waders from Cabelas (I have owned Simms and Orvis and the Cabelas brand is just as good for half the price).
Go to the Orvis website and learn to tie blood knots to connect leader to tippet. There are also other useful small knots to learn to tie.
Here is the line sequence of what goes on the reel first to last:
Backing - weight forward fly line - leader - tippet.

around Stanley

In fly fishing, the rod is more important that the reel. I have the BPS waders, and I have never had an issue.
ETA:
I love Idaho. Want to retire there. I've killed rainbows on The Big Wood. It runs right through Ketchum. You can rent a cabin around Smiley, and fish the headwaters of the Salmon. There's also a ton of mountain lakes around that area. The setting is what you're thinking of when you think about trout fishing out west.

need suggestions on waders and rod/reel combo.
wow
waders? depends on where you are fishing
rod/reel combo? depends what you are fishing for
that being said, for freshwater, the best bang for the buck right now is the four piece fast action cabela's/st croix combo
if this is your first fly rod, you won't get much better for this for the buck
i've had a ross and orvis reel breakdown on me on me for the same fish, the cabela's prestige reel was the only one that could hold it's own, (this was while trying to catch a state record HSB that was right around 13#s)
now, as for waders, for this one to each his own, personally eighty percent of the time i fish with waders w/ boots are supposed to not. But the times i don't, i really enjoy it and fishing it places that the mud won't suck my shoes/boots off
i would love to get more in-depth but work is pretty busy today, see if i can't get some free time in a little bit

do you even shadow cast, bro?

I do not have one but I feel that the absolute best rod for the money is a Temple Fork Outfitters rod.
For MT at that time of the year I'd look at a 9 foot 5 weight or 6 weight.
Like others have said any reel will be fine. I bought my sone and nephew this one at cabelas for $20.00. I've been impressed with it.
Cabela's wind river
As for waders, for fishing, I have Simms gore-tex and can't imagine fishing without them. They are wonderful but with that said no way would I suggest that you get them. There are other breathable waders out there theat you can get for around $100. But definately get breathable and get cheap felt sole boots.

Entry-level stocking-foot breathable waders from Simms or Patagonia should fit the bill. I just bought some pretty decent Simm's felt-sole wading boots for $99.
Enjoy Montana - it's an awesome place to fish.
All this. I bought some Frogg Toggs nylon waders last year. Tough as nails. I do a lot of remote fishing for smallies and brook trout here in PA. Woods are full of thorns and these have made it 16 months now with no tears.

guys, thanks for all the help. keep it coming if you want, but i did want to take the time to say thank you for all that have contributed thus far. i owe you all a beer. i hope you are okay with keystones. roger, make that a coffee or tea.

flair you can probably get everything you need for 150 total at Academy. A light 3 4 or 5 weight rod with a floating forward taper line and some fluorocarbon and mono tippit in 4x should put you in business.
get a cheap pair of stocking foot waders. and some wading boots.
add a chest pack to hold boxes and tools
a hand full of flys dry and wet mixed and you should be in business.
ETA: unless you are an odd size, like me, you can get pretty good deals on sportsmansguide too.

So far this is the best response. I get a laugh at all the guys who respond that only fly fish for bream. These are their zebco days of fly fishing, if you catch my drift.
