    You might want to check your local public library. I checked one out not too long ago to educate myself a little on fly tying.

    Books are good , But the net is better. Just search you tube on any fly that you are thinking about tying and several usually come up.

    Orvis has a pretty good book that they sell at Bass Pro also !

    Re: Book

    The only problem is trying to figure which flies are for what. I have made some bangers, and some big clousers 2/0 3/0 size and some half and halves. and trying to tie some bunnies. Looking for anything 4-8 inchs in length. I have found a good web site that sells supplies and has pics with some recipes. Saltwaterflies.com

    The Orvis Fly-Tying Guide by Tom Rosenbauer. I used to give recommend this to customers when I worked in a shop. Hope this helps.
