A history of flyfishing and fly tying would be incomplete without salmon flies! I recommend the book, Pretty and Practical Salmon Flies by Dick Talleur if you want to learn the tying techiques . He starts with simple flies then adds one new technique for each new fly that is demonstrated. It is the best instruction book for salmon flies I have seen.
