Go into the closest fly fishing shop. Tell them where you are fishing and for what. Ask them to set you up with a fly box or two and the most common wet and dry flies that work around your area. They will know. Ask them in what conditions to fish the different sorts of flies.
You will also want:
-leaders and tippet (and learn the knots to tie them. Look online)
-some strike indicators (like floats) and small splitshot weights
A vest is nice for holding everything, but not absolutely required. Waders and boot only really required in colder water and conditions. Most of the summer I fish in shorts and old running shoes.
And take a lesson if you can. They are aften offered through fly shops and are pretty cheap and very useful.
