Listen, and follow advice, bad habits are hard to break. Go with a weight foward line, floating being you will be stream fishing most of the time, learn to roll cast, watch you tube, too many trees along brooks in NJ to have a backcast, if nympthing cast upstream and let it drift back to you, use a strike indicator, watch indicator if it stops or goes against current lift rod fish on lol, don't set hook like you would with spinning tackle, add enough weight to tic bottom once in a while, if fishing streamers or wet flies cast down and across, let fly swing with current, then twitch back to yourself. A hot streamer is the white marabou with just a little red for gills (hint) my favorite streamer, killer in streams and round valley from shore. Also learn the blood knot, if your leader breaks or gets too short, tie in a piece of tippet material, but you must taper it down, 6 lb, then 4 lb, then 3 lb, this way you don't have to keep buying leaders.
