Spring is a great time to practice with the flyrod as fish can be caught in the daytime...a much better time to learn flycasting. There are plenty of eager schoolies in an estuary near you I am sure. Also, the Gl3 you have is a very forgiving flyrod...not too fast and not too slow. I would overline it with a 10 wt intermediate and use it greased to float or ungreased. It will balance your rod and make casting much easier. Leader...nothing fancy 4' of 30 or 40 lb and 2-2 1/2' of 17-20 lb. I like loop to loop connections. Don't start out throwing clousers (although they are effective in the spring) as they will require a little bit of timing in your casting and may discourage or even hurt you. A small Deciever will match the early season bait and cast much easier. Go have some fun.
