If you think that you will enjoy fly fishing, suck up your pride and take some lessons. You will learn more in 8 hours than you will learn in 8 weeks on your own. Plus you will get a primer on knots and hatches from someone who has been fishing the local waters.
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.
