bass on the fly

I love fly fishing and live in an outstanding area for bass fishing. I
moved here from Utah and learned to fly fish in Montana. I was raised
spin and plugcasting in upstate NY. I am really struggling keep my
focus on fly fishing because of lack of other anglers in my area. I am
also having trouble learning to tie and use these huge flies and casting
with the wind has been a whole new experiance. Any suggestions any
other spring creek tranfers. Everyone tells me to just return to
baitcasting and fall in with the crowd, but it just isn't the same
excitement anymore.
