Where do I begin with fly fishing?

I really want to get into fly fishing. I have spin fished since I came out of the womb and never really gotten into casting flies. I have zero knowledge on it. I have zero gear and no idea where to start. I am going to attend a beginner’s class at my local Orvis outfitter’s store and I expect them to tell me a ton. I just can’t wait for the class in a week. Anyway, any and all info welcome! I need some lists of rods and reels, line, and any other gear I should know about! Thanks!

Does anybody know of any good places to fly fish in Denver area?

I know the mountains are a great place but I’m looking for a little creek or stream or something (in the Denver metro area) where I can practice my beginner skills.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Help on picking out my first fly fishing rod?

I’m an absolute beginner at fly fishing….I have just barely gotten the hang of casting and how to catch a fish…but now I want my OWN gear. I’ve only been on two fly fishing trips with others and I think I’m ready to head off myself once in a while.
The thing is, I would like to get a nice, decent rod for a good price. Do you have any suggestions? I have been told that those fly fishing kits you can buy are absolute crap.
All your answers were excellent!!
I’m gonna have to let the public vote on this one…
thanks for your help!!!!!

What does the size of fly-fishing flies mean. Example; “Sizes 10-22″ How does 10 differ from 22? Thank You!

I’m looking to purchase fly-fishing flies on line, but I don’t know what size to buy. Do you know of any sites that sell inexpensive flies? I’m too dang cheap to spend over 60 cents on a fly when usually I snag it in the grass behind me. I’m a beginner but getting better. I’m on a tight budget too. Thanks for you help!!
