Look around at the local colleges for night courses. They offer one (or used to) in Lethbridge and it taught a guy how to cast, pick fly's and a few other things. Was under a $100 when i saw it advertised. Worth checking if similar stuff is available in Calgary. Otherwise try to hook up with someone who's proficient at it and it doesn't take long to catch on. I taught my dad in about an hour, he caught 25-30 trout his first afternoon on a small put and take.
