Thanks guys for all the GREAT INFORMATION. I believe you have given me the basis for a starting point. And keep it simple (KISS), got the message and appreciate all the advice.

First steps for me is to practice casting and get the basic techniques down, as well as stock up on some of the basic flies you guys suggested. Looks like there are some pretty good internet deals on flies.

Also, been surfing the Internet quite a bit and found what looks like a great educational site for me; Trout University at: http://www.troutu.com/

Hopefully, I'll be ready to hit a stream before long. Looking forward to that get together this spring.
