Chuck, all fly fishing/tying books are worth something.....at least in terms 
of the fact that you'll find in them something you can learn from. You've 
got years of homework to do. Embrace that. mark

Chuck,
    To set you at ease, most of us, (if not all), fish fly patterns from 
the
20's up to now. The only real changes are the materials we now have
available and the assortments of hooks. Each tier add is his own bit of
"Personality" to the flies he, (or Her), ties for their home waters, (and
those they hope to visit). So the books you have are fine, if you don't 
have
the named materials, compromise with what you do have, who knows, you may
create the next "Chile Pepper" or Copper John".
Tie on my friend, experiment, enjoy and have fun.

This brings up a question I have had since I checked out some library books
Tuesday, but haven't gotten to read them yet.. Three of the books are circa
1970's... Is Flyfishing, type flies, rods, lines, leader and/or tippet
material.. etc stayed the same enough for these books to be good for a
newbie like myself??? Or should I buy the new books to learn the latest
stuff??? And if it has changed a lot, how do I tell which is still in use
and which is not, without putting out a ton of money on all new
books???Thanks in advance to anybody who can answer this.. Chuck  who is
goin fishing the next THREE days in a row iffen it don't storm
Woooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooo
