Thanks guys. I have Ray Bergman's book, Trout and also the book, Forgotten Flies that has his flies in bigger photos. My plan is to learn as many as I can, or want.

Those are two great books. Forgotten Flies still holds my personal record for the most I’ve ever spent on a book ($300 bucks). Though I was crazy, but I’m glad I bought it. Simply amazing.
