FF Beginner tying flies

OK TonyG, his lovely wife and Oscar went on a 3/4 day out of Dana and Oscar was showing me his salty flies. So now I have the time and need to know where one can learn fly tying, say YouTube or a site that offers courses. I have a bunch of feathers, fur and tying material but no vise yet. Would like to learn salty flies and LMB's. Any help or idea's much appreciated..........GT

Hey GT I might have a vise if you would like it, I would start with a fly tying book in fact I might have a few for you. Let me know, maybe you can stop by to pick it up this weekend.

I'll see whats going on this weekend and get back to ya Jeff.............GT

Tony what happened at SD?

Hey GT,
Youtube is a great way to learn techniques and patterns.
Check out fly tying videos posted by In The Riffle, Tightlines, Fly Fish Food, Enrico Puglisi and the Bob Marriott sessions (Shane Chung, Vaughn Podmore). Here's a killer one on the Clouser Minnow by the man himself. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
