I want to fly fish. What should I get?

Yeah I like going to bass pro and cabelas and looking at the flies. Some of them are very cool. Just never had anything that could throw them before. I've been watching a bunch of fly fishing videos and I'm really starting to hate winter now. I also found a store not far from me that has a bunch of fly stuff. Little local shop. Now for the sounding stupid part. I know what backing is. I know what line is and leader is. What is a tippet? I notice a lot of these videos seem to be in open water or a place with few overhanging trees. The rivers around here have a lot of trees hanging out over the bank. With my spinning gear I can skip a tube under the limbs and way back by the bank. I'm not sure I can do that with a fly as it seems to be overhanded casting.
