Hey folks! Hope everyone is keeping cool during this heatwave!!

So I ordered some spey flies off a site that really didn't give any detail at all about the pattern.

I'd like to start tying specifically for west coast steel and salmon, so I ask all of you, what should my top three books for tying spey flies be?

I also have an off topic question. I have a 13' 7wt and I ordered a 12' 10lb steelhead leader, will this be difficult to turn over at 12'? I have just been using...newb here btw: 1-2' of 12lb mono from my floating tip, followed with 3-4' of 4x tippet, sometimes 5-7'. So trying a 12' leader out is going to be all new to me. Thanks guys and ladies enjoy the heat
