Ya know Chris I read all the comments on this and they are all right on the money !!!!!!! Dale is exactly right and my only advice is , after 25 years of tying, KEEP IT SIMPLE !!!!!! I started out making foam spiders and in my book are still one of the simplest and deadly flies to tie. WHen you can tie one of those little bodies on a hook and it doesn't twist around the hook shank , when you tighten the thread , then you got the idea of how much tension to put on the thread . Later on when you start dreaming up your own creations and catching fish on em you'll be hooked for life........
