It depends where you live. Conditions are different
in downtown New York, high in the Rocky Mountains,
on the coast of Florida etc.

General FFing on-line:

Nice sections on equipment, assembly, and the basic knots:

Some good stuff, although the text is cutesy in places:

Good knot site:
http://www.killroys.com/knots/knots.htm

Nice sections on lines ("Fly Line Anatomy"), leaders ("Leader Calc"):

Some interesting articles geared for beginners:

Books:

you can no doubt find a copy on http://www.abebooks.com

The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide by Tom Rosenbauer. Straight-forward, solid
info.

Curtis Creek Manifesto by Sheridan Anderson. Very simple, with
cartoon-like illustrations, but a lot of folks say it helped them when
they were beginners.

Good source of fly-fishing books:

Good "Fireside reading"
- A River Never Sleeps, by Roderick Haig-Brown
- The Habit of Rivers, by Ted Leeson
- Year of the Angler and Year of the Trout, both by Steve Raymond
- Trout Madness, by Robert Traver
- Fishless Days, Angling Nights, by Sparse Grey Hackle

Hi Steve,

You have books, videos, CDs, local fly clubs, adult education fly fishing
classes, recommended guides, fly fishing schools and 'good' fly shops for
help.

Many are not fortunate enough to have a friend to mentor them.

If you put the spinning rod away for a season and really go for it, anyone
can get going in this sport.
