I've decided to try to follow the trail being blazed by surf12foot and go to sea with a fly rod... but I have zero experience with sinking lines or sinking tips or any line that doesn't float, and there isn't a fly shop down this way to help me out.

Is there an online site or a book you might recommend where I can learn about them?

Everything will be all right in the end, so if it's not all right, then it's not yet the end.

Washington Fly Fishers is the place to go! Solid forum. It's our equivalent, but fly rods instead of kayaks.

Thanks!  It is a good forum - more information than I could find on the NAFF forum - and I've picked up a ghost of a clue just from reading current threads.

Side note: called the Caddis Fly Shop and will be getting a phone call this morning to explain it "for dummies" style.  Those folks are great!
