Are you fishing from a boat?
I have done a lot of fly fishing in Lakes and ponds from a belly boat, pontoon boat and kayak.
The big difference is that you don't have much current to deal with but might have wind on the surface. Dry flies might need a small twitch to get the fish to rise. Cast the fly and wait, wait wait...
For wet flies you might need to add a sinking leader or a sinking line depending on the depth of the fish. And the retrieve is important to give the fly life and the speed of retrieval need to change.

Good luck!
