Don't be overwhelmed at all. After 40+ years of fly fishing, I've helped multiple novices to learn. Do not be intimidated. We flyfisherman are an odd group as many of our group, for one reason or another, think we are special. Give me a break. A great resource for you, along with some excellent casting basics is Orvis' instructional site. Here is a link:

Tom Rosenbauer is simply exceptional in his presentation and instructional abilities. In my opinion, he is unique and unequaled. Beyond that instructional site of basics, youtube is an excellent source, as you may already know. Just try to sort out the "me an pa reckon if'n we kin do it, so can you" types. Some of them may know what they're doing; but, you end up digging through huge piles of horse turds in search of a horse.
