What kind of advice you seeking? If you're looking to get a rod, I'd base my suggestions on a price point.
For my money, Orvis and Sage make the best fly rods available (with my personal preference leaning towards Sage; both my trout rod and my bonefish/tarpon rod are Sage).
The Sage VT2 is a very good rod and a good value as far as Sage goes, but it runs at around $400 (and this doesn't include a reel). That rod will, however, last you as long as you need it to (it will hold up and you'll never outgrow it in terms of skill) and Sage will replace it easily if, by chance, it breaks during the normal course of fishing.
On the Orvis side, the Streamline series is a great option for someone looking to purchase a quality rod to learn on. They run under $100 (not including reel) and, again, should be easily replaced if broken in the course of fishing (I broke an old Orvis Green Mountain series rod a few years ago and, despite that rod not being made for years before I broke it, they replaced it with the "newer" model, no questions asked). This is a rod that, if you continued with the sport, you'd probably find somewhat limiting and would eventually replace, but would be perfect to learn on.
No matter what kind of rod you purchase, I'd suggest getting a 5-weight. It'll be strong enough to handle any trout/bass you'll hook, but light enough to make it a fight.
