Definitely get a casting lesson with either of the guys at Fly South or Cumberland Transit both close to each other and will help with learning curve.
Then practice, practice, practice.
The hardest concept gear fisherman have coming over to flyfishing is letting the rod do the work. You're not relying on the weight of a lure to send the line shooting thru the guides instead the weight of the line to carry the near weightless fly.

When you catch your first fish on the flyrod, even if it's a 3 inch bluegill, you'll be hooked for life. That's how I got hooked when I was about 15. I'd rather catch a 1lb bass on a flyrod than catch a 5lb bass on regular gear anyday.

Looking forward to the first fish. I'm sure it will be quit different then just reeling one in on regular gear.
