You can buy tackle at large outdoors stores. There are also small fly-fishing stores in the Twin Cities, Duluth, and Rochester. You can also learn from instructional videos sold in outdoors stores or rented at video stores. Many books, some for beginners, have been written about fly-fishing. Publications such as Fly Fisherman and Midwest Fly Fishing, available at newsstands and by subscription, contain fishing and casting tips.
Many web sites have information on fly-fishing.
