I found lots of great tips on Youtube. Also, Google "Orvis learn to fly fish" and it will bring up the link for Orvis's instructional website. There are some great casting tips, as well as instructional videos on the basics of fly fishing.
A few tips I found helpful: On your back and forward cast, make sure it's a smooth acceleration to a hard stop/pause. Try to use mostly forearm movement, and just a little wrist movement. Your rod tip should travel back and forth in a straight line, when you put to much arm or wrist in your cast it will cause the rod to arc and several problems will arise.
