books on tying

[#0060bf]"Fly Tying Made Clear and Easy" by Skip Morris. - I had that one when I began Fly Tying. It is a definite good helpful source. I agree that the patterns he demonstrates are mostly the ones you want to tie. As I remember, in it he ties a white woolly bugger. I never have caught a fish on that white one. I think you would be better off selecting some alternate colors for the woolly bugger. Maybe red body with black hackle or all black.[/#0060bf]

[#0060bf]"Top To Bottom Mayflies" by Shane Stalcup - This book is for some more advanced tying but the upfront section about different materials and colors I would think a beginner would find useful. Besides it will not be long before you are wanting to try some of Shane's mayfly patterns.[/#0060bf]

[#0060bf]The internet is just great! I could not remember another book that helped me a lot when I started tying but a quick google search found it.[/#0060bf]

The above book has lots of patterns but the what I like the best about it was the discussion of materials, tools, hooks, and correct pattern sizing.

Skip Morris's book and this one are not expensive.
