Ok well I'm also a previous fly fisher (trout) so to help you,
Fly fishing you hold the rod & cast with your prominent hand/arm, and you reel with your weak hand/arm, because most of the time you leave the reel well alone, it's only there to hold the line, even most fish playing is done by hand with the line held clamped inside the first joint of your index finger. or between the thumb & index finger.
and the line comes off the bottom of the reel not the top.
