What sneakypete said.

As for advice, pick up a good casting DVD. Casting is half the fun, and you're missing out if you don't know how. Some good casters with DVD's are:

Joan Wulff
Mel Krieger
Lefty Kreh
Tom White
Doug Swisher
Chico Fernandez

I own 'em all (plus a few others), so feel free to ask questions about any of them.

Also, Larry Dahlberg (the "Hunt for Big Fish" guy on OLN) has an excellent bass/panfish DVD. He covers everything: casting, knots, flies, etc.

The LL Bean Fly-Fishing Handbook is an excellent resource, if you're into books.

Check out FAOL, too. There's a whole "Fly Fishing Basics" section and a bunch of good bulletin boards:

Fly Anglers OnLine, Your Complete Internet Flyfishing Resource.

Since you're more of a warmwater guy (like me), you might also like this site:

Warm Water Fly Fishing

Good luck!
