Welcome Greg and there is sooooo much info available, that in itself is staggering. Suggestion! Lefty Kreh books, Orvis site, use the web to research. Buy cheap to start so you don't spend too much and not use it. We had one person on here who just finish getting rid of all his Fly fishing gear. He just never got comfortable with the whole thing. It takes some time, and plenty of backyard slinging to put the fly where you need it to be presented. But, learn as much as you can from research. Ask questions here, as there are plenty of FFF on this site. FFF (Fly Fishing Fanatics). But start out with a rod, match with a reel and line weight that it is compatible with the rod, at a modest price. That way, if you get frustrated and decide to stop, you haven't lost a mortgage payment or two. Check out Bass Pro Shop, Cabelas,...etc, for a good setup at a good price. Then, practice casting to rings of string, tubes, buckets, whatever in the yard, if possible. Good Luck to you.
