welcome woodsman.
be careful... this addiction is hard to kick.
best things to do if you have a question is check the how to's like fs said. then try a search...
many are willing to share techniques and experiences... most shy away from "spots" You put your time in and you can have your own spots that you want to keep tight liped
Good luck... find some running water and rocks, you should be good to go this time of year.
