Hey Rob, I’d start out with going to an Orvis in your area and learning the basics. They do great classes for all ages, with casting, rigging, hatches, and such on local waters. Great intro to fly fishing, I used to help every now and again at my local Orvis with the tying classes.

Tom Rosenbaur has some great media for essentially all your basics and needs. When it comes to reading water, there is none better than the European competitive nymphers. Worth a little research.

For fly’s, I’d start out fishing streamers as that is most likely what your most used to. You’ll probably be able to pull some nice browns doing that, then slowly gravitate to indicator nymphing, and some dry fly fishing if the hatch is good.
I’d never dare fish a spinning rod again for trout, but that is my personal opinion.

Good luck
Tommy
