    yeah Fly Tying Bible is cool. got it while in the States...
    "I see the fly float gently down out of the air and land on target. For less than an instant I think, how can this be? Did I actually do that? But there is no time to contemplate philosophy or magic or the rewards of hard work. A trout is on the move..." - Ed Engle, Fishing Small Flies

    I used to use Azureus. Nowdays I have settled on utorrent - get it at utorrent.com. Smallest one there is, and a great little app.

    Thanks for the lead guys. Look like a great reference. As a new tier, I also have Tom Sutcliff's book, "Elements of Fly tying".

    A book I found in the Uk is "Basic Fly Tying" by Charlie Craven. What I really like, is his clear explanation of techniques and procedures. He starts off each chapter dealing with materials, the how and why of how to use materials and then goes on to show a few flies in a SBS format using said materials.

    I hope it might hel somebody else!
