I'm a bass fisherman, I'll use my fly rod on my toon to drag around a bugger or small fly up at Pelican for some easy bluegill and bass but other than that my casting ability is laughable, lack of practice. I have a Pflueger rod, 5wt fly line (weight forward, just bought it today) and my leader, I believe, goes to 4lb test.
Questions: What is a safe tippet for trout? What is the best knot to tie from leader to tippet? What is the best knot to tie on a small fly? The box of line that I got recommended a backer line, why? Most importantly, where's a good place for a noob to go fly fishing on a river in Utah? I've got some time off work and I'd like to use it to go fly fishing, or at the very least get some experience. I would appreciate any help at all, criticism is welcomed also but you still have to help a little [
