I gave up fly fishing, too hard to clean them. Seriously, You are asking the wrong man, dont go fishing at all, but, if you were to visit L.L.Bean, they have a school which I believe is free, and, one of their outdoor experts could steer you in the right direction. I do know that we have some great salmon rivers, but, I have no clue about seasons etc. My working days were on the high seas (commercial fishing). If you do come to Maine, I sure would like to meet you.
