Welcome from Alabama.
Lots of information in the stickies and in the archives here on this subject. I buy most of my materials from Jann's Netcraft, Barlows or find it at hobby shops or flea markets.
Here also are some nice tying videos to get you started. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/archi...ng-videos.html

Wrap the starter thread on the hook shank. Add a drop of super glue. Tie in a two tone marabou tail. Add a drop of super glue.Tie in Krystal flash. Double over and add a half hitch knot. Begin to tie in the chenille and black striping or variegated chenille at the end of the tail feathers. (I only prefer my chenille body to be about 1/3 of the entire hook length. Usually about four turns.) Strip off some of the fibers so the inner thread is exposed and wrap that with the tying thread. Then bring the tying thread to the front. Wrap the chenille tightly about four turns to the front. Secure with a half hitch knot. Wrap the stripes to the front of the jig hook. Secure with two half hitch knots. Cut the extra off close to the jig body. Add a drop of super glue. Hang the fly to dry.
Here's a nice deceiver tying video.
