Dick-Here's my 2cents worth......if you want to start tying buy a first fly tying kit you can p/u at Cabelas or BassPro. It will include the vice &materials to get you started on basic flies.

Wow I'm overwhelmed by all the tools and tying supplies. I was up all last night on You Tube watching fly tying videos and tools. I never knew it was so big and all the things you can tie. Tooty gave me a starting point as to what tools I would need to start with and with all that's out there and the different things and different tools I can see a large learning curve.  Now we have all the threads, hair, feathers, eyes, wing material and the list goes on. I will make and attempt at it because it looks challenging and it would be neat to catch a fish on something I made myself. I do have a question on the thread, do I want waxed or unwaxed. Can I put head cement on wax thread. I will have many questions I'm sure but I know with the knowledge we have at the site I feel confident I can get any answer I'm needing on BBG.

Greg I know thats right but you guys and gals make some good looking stuff.

Greg lets not go to extremes now. I'll leave the tying to the pros in which I'm not one although I do have my vice from the old days when I us to tie doll flies.

Dick these are some sub-surfaces flies, I personally don't lie the bead head flies, but I am sure many here would disagree!!!!! Ah, SO MANY FLIES, SO LITTLE TIME!!!!!!!!!! http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/fishing-fly-fishing-fly-fishi...
