I do think it helps a great deal. Basically because you will see many different insects that are tied the same. Differences being material, color and size with subtle differences.
A hatch book could help, but tying really locks it in as you pay more attention to details.
See where you live, I recommend this kit:
http://www.fishusa.com/Wapsi-Deluxe-Fly-...Kit_p.html
A company known for it's quality material, and flies that are very important to this area. Every single one of those flies will work in the Rocky Mountain area.
Get a grasp for it then upgrade to better vise, bobbins, and scissors, plus more material for the flies you like.
Tying your own is the best satisfaction and really can spark creativity. Tons of great tutorials as well like CHEECH and CURTIS or anoth one of MY favorites Davie McPhail.
