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!

Has anyone ever been fly fishing on Morgan Run in Carroll County, MD?

Is it worth fishing?

Are this good Fly Tying Kits? If so Which one is Better?

I am now trying to make my own flies for fly fishing so I do not know much about which Vise’s are better then others, and which tools you will need. So Here are the links to the two kits that I am looking at, so if you know which one is better, or if you know of a differnt one please tell me, Thanks. And Here are the links.

fly fishing vs other types of fishing?

I’ve been fishing on a normal rod with line and sinkers and what not. I just wanted to read the experiences of people who’ve been fishing on this type of set up compared to those of fly fishing. I was pondering on the issue of starting up fly fishing myself.

Can I use 45 lb test backing for fly fishing for lighter fish?

I’ve got a 5 weight rod/reel and 5 floating WF line. I need backing. There’s some 45 lb test cheep. Can I use it?

According to the box: “45 lb. line fits in the space of 125 yds. of conventional 20 lb.” Will this work on my setup or should I throw in the extra money and go for a smaller backing?

Thanks!
