Fly tying book

[OhioOutdoorsman]

I've been tying for a year now. I will say it can be fustrating. I started out with a material kit and regret it, the materials are in general, bad. The difference beteen a crappy looking fly and a decent fly often comes down to materials.....decent materials and the right materials. Only experience or an experienced person can tell you and show you what to look for.....this is an area I'd definitely go to your local fly shop if that is an option.

I just checked the Bethlehem (PA) Area Public Library Web site for its titles on Fly Tying and it has quite a few.
Before you buy, you might want to try.

But, as others have suggested - there is no video or book that can substitute for onsite guidance from an experienced human being.
