If you are truly interested in taking up the sport of fly fishing and not getting frustrated after the first or second outing, then a guided trip is right for you. You will learn more in a half day of fishing with an experienced guide than you would in an entire month of weekends.
Your guides

Now living in Decorah, Kent wishes to share his knowledge of the local area and the joy of 'catch and release' fly fishing with you. Kent is a member of the local Driftless Chapter of Trout Unlimited. www.iadriftless.org

(check with your guide on your boot size and water conditions regarding waders)
Trips for beginners are best one person. Due to the size (small) of many of the Northeast Iowa streams, it is very difficult for two individuals to fish in the same general area. When you are a beginner and you have an issue, you don't want your guide to be fifty yards up stream with your fishing buddy. It is okay for two people to come along on the trip, but the guide will only work with one at a time. Watching and listening however, is a great way to learn the sport. (Add $25 for extra person on half day and $50 for full day)
