I took a day of lessons. I was skunked the first day (I spent more time untangling nymphs that I did fishing) but then I started catching fish because I had learned where they would be hanging out and I knew what flies/nymphs to use.

8 hours = 8 weeks... That really depends on how much you fish!! haha.
If you are completely new to fishing all-together than lessons wouldn't be a bad idea. If you are already a competent spincaster than you certainly have an advantage and trial/error is totally feasible.
Good luck, hope you enjoy the sport, I'm sure you will.
