Brad,
The guys are right...one other suggestion I may give. Bill Skilton has an excellent book, "My Fly Patterns, Materials, and Techniques". Lots of foam stuff. Simple ties & well described. If you have trouble finding it, email me.
BTW...Where's Youngwood, Pa?..if it's in western Pa, please let me know!
Mike
