Find some who can tie and ask them for a beginers lesson. I haven't met a tier so far, that would say no to a reasonable request of that nature. Saltwater flies like the ones I'd like to get a swap going for, don't need to be as precise as a tiny sweetwater dry fly. But on the other hand, you still require the basic techniques (no secrets) to whip up some on the most common Striper flies. I'd like to say "Hey, why bother with tying if you're not interested with the flyfishing" But, I do know a professional tier that doesn't flyfish so... it happens I guess. For me, I get a great deal of pleasure from hooking a keeper with my own creation.
