Tons of Youtubes. Most the Fly shops around here have casting classes and at pretty fair prices. Check Sportsmans, Cabela's and Scheels.
You can learn to rig up here, such as leaders and tippet, even flies. But, need to know if you plan on stillwater and if so, from shore or from boat. Or River/streams. Some flies are universal, but most stillwater flies are different than moving during the year.
Assuming you have floating line, it can work fine on both. As the lakes cool, fish do come closer.
As for casting, Classes. It is hard to learn to haul, and double haul on your own. False casting your arm should travel a straight line like painting the underside of a shelf. Keep wrist straight.
But I suggest learning to Roll Cast. You will need water to learn this, but you can us it anywhere. Trees, wall behind you...roll cast.
