I was wondering what the comb will be used for?
Also, any ideas for a good book with some instruction and patterns that I will be using here in central Pa?
To brush out hair before stacking it. There's alot of underfur and fluff in there that hinders your ability to work with it.
Book? I dunno... I don't think a book is neccessary, persay. I mean, its helpful, but in my case a computer is right next to my tying area, so I just lookup what I want and look at step-by-steps, videos, or pictures where appropriate.
Patterns? This gets hashed over pretty badly 'round here, and everyone has a thousand suggestions. FWIW, in dry flies I find comparaduns to be the easiest to tie, and they're cheap (no hackle). Soft hackle wets are easy (peacock-and-partridge, floss-and-partridge, etc). Hare's Ears, Pheasant Tails, and whatever name little caddis larva patterns go by all round it out.
