How to learn fly fishing?

Giuga, thank you for your reply, but what i am asking is to ask Oldtimer what's the yarn he used to practice casting in his post.

You can get fly line at Le Baron, Bass Pro Shops, or any dealer that sells fly fishing merchandise. You can't use fly line for tying flies or egg patterns as it is too thick, heavy, and the fish will definitely not go for it as it is too bright and doesn't look like a fly.

You can use any type of yarn for fly tying, and if you want to make a more technical and better fly, you can purchase hackle at Le Baron or Bass Pro Shops. I just tie my flies with yarn and make simple wings and a tail from a feather from the Dollar store or something like that.

Here's a video that should help you a bit in regards to spooling your fly reel.
