Hello Gordon and welcome to FAOL. The new guys chop wood and bring donuts. Check out the FOTW (Fly Of The Week) archives and Fly Tying section on the Home page for patterns and how to tying step by step. Also the fly tying section in the FAOL BB has a lot of patterns. If you hear of a pattern you'd like to try you can type in the name in the Search box on the Home page. It's a fun site and a wonderful learning tool. You can just ask for a pattern and half a dozen or more gals and guys will show you their version with a material list and step by step. Enjoy. Jim
