Hey Rookie,
Welcome to fly fishing! I have recently took on this hobby as well...Last year I started with a walmart combo fly fishing setup at Henry's lake in late june...lots of fish on the state boat dock marina....only one taker and lost him to a bad knot on my fly...That fly rod now belongs to my son, it caught many fish but the casting was not great...my skills included
I am also still learning and have not shook the skunk off when it come to river fishing...
I have been successful on still water, the key was discovering full sinking line and I also now use intermediate sinking line. They work great with wooly buggers/streamers in the fall when you are in still waters..
This spring I attempting to figure out the floating line too..
Good Luck
