Hi "me".

Start he http://www.flyanglersonline.com/ for some beginner info on
fishing and tying.

Then, look around for a club in your new hometown. Federation of Flyfishers
and TU probably have a chapter or affiliate near your new home town. There
might also be independent clubs. Find your local fly shop and hang out
there a couple of times. Take tying lessons at a club or fly shop (be aware
that tying lessons are more likely done in the winter - this is fishing
season, not learning-how-to-tie season). Some people swear by videos and
some people probably can learn from a book, but there's nothing like having
a tying mentor to get yourself going. Likewise, casting lessons will
shorten the learning curve - you can get them from a club, flyshop, or a
guide. There are lots of sites in the Web that can help - search and ye
shall find. But I recommend finding some people first.
