Hey welcome to fly fishing! While not a die-hard fly fisherman myself, I enjoy flyfishing on occasion. I mix it up with spin fishing. If you can get the general casting down, you're 90% there. If you already stream fished with lures or bait, you probably already know how to read the water and find where the fish are.
What you need now is to hit a local fly shop or sporting goods store to find out what types of flies work well in your area. General all around good flies include Adams Elk hair caddis, hare's ears, pheasant tails, streamers such as wooly buggers, joes hoppers and more. Each river/area is different on what works best and what best imitates the insect life in each water.
Good luck!
