1) Join a local Fly Dressers Guild branch, they usually have tying sessions on a regular basis.

2) Check out adult education courses in your area, there are several Fly tying courses.

3) Enter a search for "Fly tying, Davy Mcphail" into You Tube and you'll have enough material to keep you going for ages.

4) Check out the Step by Step sequences on this forum.

If your still struggling after all that, find a Fly tying instructor and get a couple of lessons.

Regards

try the ''begginers guide to fly tying'' by peter gathercole (hope i spelt that right)
its a good book with very good instructions and pictures perfect for the begginer hence the name as mentioned above the fly dressers guild is always a good way to go you can pick up alot from them
