I'm not sure where you are, but if you're close to Calgary, stop by the Fishin' Hole and they'll get you set up. Ask for Kelly if he's around.
I'm a Shimano fan, so for the $200 I'd go with a Clarus or Compre rod and Symetre spinning reel, but regardless of brand, you'll be able to set yourself up with a good quality rod and reel for that kinda money. Anything in the 6'6" range in a medium action with a fast tip is the best bet for an all around rod. You can get a decent St. Croix or Fenwick, or a top of the line Quantum, Berkley, Rapala etc... in the $80-120 range. I'd go with a good quality spinning reel - Shimano, Pflueger, Quantum, etc..., again, $80-120.
The Fishin' Hole has a couple or ready packaged Shimano combos you may want to look at too.
I can't help much on the fish finder.

P.S. While you're shopping, just think about the gas money you'll watch evaporate out the tail pipe on your trip with nothing to really show for it, and then compare that to the value of the fishing gear you're about to buy and how long you'll have it. It makes rationalizing spending a few more $$$ on your setup a lot easier.
