I agree with learn to cast, but not that big of deal. For rivers I teach roll casting. In fact even shore fishing. It is much easier to learn and it doesn't matter what is behind you. Not much different than spin casting.
The difference in ff and spin is the line does the distance not the bubble or lure...soooooo, get the BEST line you can afford.
I feel the LINE is one of the most Important things in fly fishing next to right fly and right presentation. Rod will be personal choice and reel will basically be a place to hold line although a far drag system will be needed as fish will run.
One thing...you can only practice roll casting on water (correctly at any rate),
so how cool is that...I have to go PRACTICE!!!!![cool]
Allot on here fish the Provo (myself included) so give a shout when you are going to be there.
