I started with this series of Youtube videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoq5IAzj28g  and also used the resources of the local librarys.  Join one and you get to use them all in the lower mainland, and all for free!  ;D

The Art Of Fly Tying, by John Van Vliet (Author), is one of my personal favourites. It is a great book for beginner and intermediate fly tyers that is a beautifully photographed and precisely detailed fly tying book, designed to introduce fly tying in a segmented, logical way. The ultimate goal of this book is to bring beginning fly tyers up to speed on the common elements and techniques of fly tying. 

Here's a link to view the cover of the book (for reference):
