No it isn't too bad. Find someone to teach you how to cast or watch a youtube video on it (I'm sure they exist...they have videos on everything). Then go fishing....that is where I did a lot of learning. I use a 3x tippet for most things and if the fly is not turning over correctly I adjust my leader. The big first step is learning how to cast. If you can cast your fly accurately, then the rest is easy/frustrating...depending on how picky the fish are. Feel free to ask questions here as it seems we have a handful of flyfisherman.
