Hi Inder, I have a couple of fly rods I bought second hand on TradeMe from a fly fisherwoman who was hanging up her waders. They have had five fifths of fuck all use since I've had them, which is embarrassing given some of the monsters she was holding in the photos on her garage wall. You are more than welcome to use these for free till you get settled, and work out where you want to fish, and what you might need. Save you splashing out on stuff prior for gear that may or may not suit.
Hunting and Fishing will undoubtedly serve your needs and will happily take your money, but can be a little overpriced for what you get, so would second flyshop as a great independent option.
I also have some sea/rock rods you would be welcome to borrow, and/or can introduce you to Pete from Pete Lamb's Fishing who is always a great source of wisdom, and will sort you out with a no-nonsense set up for a very reasonable price. I can also show you some of Miramar's hotspots where you're guaranteed to catch snapper on about 1 in 10 outings... biggest I've caught was about 15cm though, so I hope you like catch and release.
