I agree with Flyrod, get a setup and start practicing.
The book I got was "flyfishing for dummies", it covered all the basics, what knot to use for tying backing to the fly line (they call it "attaching the fat line to the skinny line"). That's my speed so I liked the book.
I would recommend a stripping basket(any small rubbermaid tub will do), and using a sinking line I found easier to cast and give better distance than an itermediate line.
Oh yeah, always wear sunglasses, I havent hit myself in the eye yet, but I've gotten some good welts from a clouser wacking me in the head on a bad casts.
Good luck, flyfishing requires a lot of space and patience, but the fight on the long rod is hard to beat.
