is thier a certain way to put string on a fly fishing reel

I am an engineering student trying to construct a fly fishing reel in Solidworks but cannot find the dimensions of the fly fishing reel anywhere on the internet. I need not only the diameter, width, but also the dimensions of the holes, and etc. My team and I would highly appreciate it if someone could take the time with a ruler to measure this out for us. Thank you so much!
To clarify, it does not matter what size or anything. Just any general fly reel. We are trying to possibly head in a child’s direction but this is not a necessity.
Again, it doesnt matter about size. We just need a general dimension to complete this project. We can figure out proportions later on but we can’t find any dimensions whatsoever.

I dont have very much money but I still really want to learn how to fly fish. I am thinking about buying the Martin Fly Fishing Rod & Reel Combo – 8′ Rod for . Is this a good rod and reel combo for a beginner or is harder to use because its so cheap.
What other inexpensive combos would you recommend for a beginner fly fisherman?

I’m getting interested in trout fishing and I have spoken to some Trout Unlimited guys and they all swear by dry flies. I myself am just starting and I’ve done a little rooster tail fishing with some nice catches. Is one more humane than the other as far as catch and release goes? Also whats a nice fly fishing reel and rod to get as a noob?

i did not know if i can use a fly fishing reel on a stream fishing pole, and if not why.

thanks
