[cool] No matter how many birth certificates you look at, you will never see one that says "Born Fly Tier". It is truly an art that must be learned...and practiced. For me it has been a life-long source of personal enjoyment, as well as a means of having all my flies tied just the way I want them...in just the right sizes.
You mentioned having someone to give you some coaching. That's one of the best ways of getting a feel for the techniques. But, with the internet sources we have these days, there are hundreds of sites you can visit to get good info and find new patterns. I'll help you with some links if you like.
I have a new digital camera I'm playing with, as well as a scanner. I will set up some step by step shots, with instructions, to help you with the patterns I'll be sending.
By the way, did you get those fins adjusted and wet yet?
