Anthony, dont feel bad. Alot of us were in your situation when we started. As Chris stated, hold the rod and line in one hand and strip with the other. Easy to do once you get the hang of it.
If you look to the left side of this page you'll see some links. If you havent done so you might want to click on "Flyfishing Basics" and then click on the "Fly Fishing 101" link. Lots of good information there as well as all the help you'll get from the gang here.
