Hey Bitterroot,

If your looking for "standards" there
are a lot of books out on various fly types
and their histories. There is also a lot
of info here on FAOL in the archieves.

To me, what is even more important than
"standards" is "basics".*G* Our friend Al
Campbell created a number of patterns here
on FAOL that are very basic patterns, easy
to tie, and are very effective to fish with.
His "Too Simple" series of flies is quite
eye opening for me. Check out his articles
in the archieves here and see what you think. Warm regards, Jim
