Welcome.
Where are you based out of?
I think the best thing you can do is to start on smaller streams with eager fish... get used to what you are looking for in terms of reading the water. Get used to short casts, dealing with the line, the hook set, etc.
Going out with a good guide who enjoys taking out beginners is a good way to cut a few years off your learning curve. About a decade ago I went out with Fred Gordon on the McCloud and had my first 20+ fish day and that day changed my life, as well as my fishing style.
Join a fly fishing club... there are tons all over the State and they usually have loads of people who really want to help you get into it. They do fish-outs, trips organized by the club to different places. They'll bring in presentations about all sorts of fishing destinations and tactics. You are bound to make some fishing friendships through joining a club.
If you have specific questions about rods or lines or whatever, just post or drop a line.
