OK, I missed the "fairly" in the "fairly new".
My point is just that moving water adds variables that most newbies are not ready for. IMO, the concept of a "drag free drift" is the most important thing to learn.

If you find that upstream casting and mending line and avoiding tangles in your slack line are too much to deal with when starting out, just tie on a wooly bugger and cast across and slightly downstream. Then let the current take it down and swing across and downstream of you. When the line is tight, let it dangle in the current a few moments, and then a couple of short strips upstream before casting again.
Stockers won't be able to resist it.
