Fly Fishers International seems to have fantastic tying videos such as this and this on the zug bug
they also have this beginner fly tying guide    (local .pdf)

the site i downloaded in 2010 was flyanglersonline.com fly of the week that is recreated here
i actually like the format of the local copy I made years ago but it only goes to 2010 instead of 2014 [link only works from local pages]
it also has good fly fishing and fly tying basics topics selectable in the left panel

this Olive Hare's Ear Thorax Soft Hackle by Allen McGee    local   looks good to me
