Used Book in Good Condition
Some great books that helped me when I was starting out were:
Presenting the Fly by Lefty Kreh, Spring Creek Strategies by Mike Heck, and No Hatch to Match by Rich Osthoff.
Understanding trout behavior is also essential. For that, I've found no better resource than the videos: The Underwater World of Trout and Feeding Lies. There are two others in the series that aren't available online, but are well worth purchasing.
Getting out with someone who knows what they are doing is always a help. Hiring a guide is always a great idea. I'd never have learned to mend as well as I can today without Greg Bricker. Your local fly shop may also hold beginner days and casting clinics that can be a great help.
Finally, practice, practice, practice. In Presenting the Fly, Lefty talks about throwing flies through hoops and into teacups. Before my trip to Canada this summer I spent a number of hours with targets and measured distances and it helped a lot.
