wouldn't be afraid to by a temple fork, great rod for the price and for $20 you get a new one if you break it, yes it does happen and no fly rods aren't like ugly sticks. I've broke them pulling on snags, tailgate, etc. The course Pearl mentioned would be a great start. It is tough to get the hang of and fly fishing is much different in terms of presentation and technique, but it is much more fun and lots of cool gadgets you don't get with spinning. Lots of great places to learn around Calgary, bow is tough yes, highwood, sheep, elbow
