Hi Fish2live,
First, welcome to paflyfish.
You're in luck - we hold newbie instructional events in Allentown from time to time, and we're about due for one.
Our last event was pretty big, and was held at the Wildlands Conservancy (Emmaus). Future events this year won't be as big, and they're held in the area of the fly shop on the Little Lehigh down in the Allentown Parkway.
Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of the next event in the Events forum and also here in the Beginner's forum.
Please understand that right now is the peak of the hatch season here, and the guys that run these newbie events have vacations and fishing trips planned, so our time is at a premium. We're scrambling to fit things in to our busy work schedules and come up with a Saturday to make this happen.
Personally, I'm currently stuck in third shift hell, so maybe the other guys that help run these events can pick up the slack.
Obviously, I'm sure you'd like some help ASAP, and if you're willing to meet up face to face, we can get you started on your journey.
One very important requirement - ya gotta be over 18 years of age, or you have to have a parent along for any meet ups.
I'll send you my contact info via PM - we should talk first.
H.A.
