Default recommended books

Hi there,

now im realy getting into fly fishing i would like to start looking at the types of aquatic fly life we have so i can understand the immitations etc alot better and start matching things up to certain waters with the hopes of improving my visits and also enjoyment that much more. i did a taster session at bewl and the guy told us a few books but i cant for the life of me remember what they where called.

ive also just bought a fly tying kit so would like a couple of good books on that aswell if you have any you feel that jump out at you as easy to understand for a beginner ?

many thanks.

If you go to the Flytying section Step-by- Step, scroll to the bottom and you'll get all the info you need to start tying flies.
