I just picked up fly fishing this year, took the begginer fly fishing class with Country Pleasures and was on my way. Thanks to that class, and reading some books on reading water ect, plus some great vids on Youtube (thanks Humblefisherman), i have had an unbelievable first year fishing the bow. At first nymphing was all i could do, but gradually i experimented with dry's, and seem to enjoy both. Have never been skunked yet, but i imagine fly fishing may get tougher in winter?
As for places, Fish Creek is apopular place for flyfishers but i feel it gets to much prssure
Southland can be good but it is underconstuction right now
HW 22X bridge and HW 2A are my favorate places to fish, u may need to walk a little to find some good water.
Hope this helps
im still a fly fishing newbie too
let me know how you do
