Hi Pete,

The first book that comes to mind is the one regarded as the bible on such matters.

Bumbles are the creation of T.C. Kingsmilll-Moore and his book 'A Man May Fish is the first port of call. I would also go for Irish Trout and Salmon flies by E.J.Malone as well which as a few Bumble patterns.

   I've found out some medical news that means I'll likely have a lot
   of days off work, recovering and doing treatment regimens. quite
   severe and equally personal.  No need for the i'm sorrys or that
   crud.  Anyhow, i figure my self-assigned therapy includes tying
   massive quantities of flies, and I've been on an Irish Lough fly or
   "bumble" fly kick lately.  I've watched every Davie McPhail youtube
   video on the subject i could find - quite a few - but was wondering
   if any vfb folks knew of good books or webpages on that style of
   fly.  They are like mini spey flies, sans wing, in sizes 8 to
   14/maybe 16, from the looks of things... palmered wet flies
   overhackled with partridge collars?  A class to themselves that
   makes them awesome to me.  Any info is appreciated,
   -Pete
