Congratulations AP! I jumped into the world of fly fishing last year. I'm a complete novice but I have fun. I bought (at George's suggestion) the Lessons with Lefty (Kreh) DVD and I think it is great. From casting standpoint fly fishing is fundamentally different that any other types of fishing that I've tried. Once you learn the basics of the fly cast you'll be fine and you'll have a blast. There's something about catching a fish on a fly rod that is almost magical.
