I feel for you
I have not been out since last month. But the weather is supposed to hit upper 80s this week, so I am definitely going to try and make it out

No need for a boat. Find a stream and do some hiking
Trout season just ended here lol... Texas Parks & Wildlife stocks a few locations across the state in Nov/Dec. Waters are generally too warm for any remaining trout by now, with the exception of the Guadalupe River below the Canyon Lake Dam.

Different experiences. Incomparable for the most part. There's some amazing fresh water fishing in the world. It's also a lot easier to find good freshwater fishing in my experience.

I love fly fishing. I gave up every other form of fishing about 6 years ago. Stalking Bonefish on the flats is like hunting for fish. A truly unique experience.

Go to an Orvis store (after this whole virus mess calms down). They will teach you for free. Then go buy a cheaper fly setup from someone else lol; Orvis is expensive, but I buy from them because they have a 25 year no-questions-asked warranty for their rods and reels.
Basic casting is easy. There are several cast varieties that take a lot of practice to master though, but they are mostly unnecessary. The real difficulty is finding the right fly for your target and presenting it properly.
