All men who fish may in turn be divided into two parts: those who fish for trout and those who don't. Trout fishermen are a race apart: they are a dedicated crew- indolent, improvident, and quietly mad.

For something "new", if there is such a thing under the sun, try...
www.charliesflyboxinc.com for Charlie Craven's wonderful site. In the gray area to the right click on "Flybox" and you can even follow along in High Def his tutorials...If you are looking for some new tying tricks Charlie has them...He may have no equal as a production tier.
Or...www.dancia.com Herr Hans Weilenmann's site. It's a collection of patterns etc from tiers from all over the world even our own Mark Libertone AKA Softhackle can be found there. This site has the new and the old and even the odd...Some of the tiers are folks you may have heard of and some of the not-so-famous.
This should keep you busy for a few days mister!
