Gear needed to ty

[macfly55]

lol.. didnt we discuss this all before..

I agree with all that has been said so far.. but want to add.. that depending on budget you will want to buy the best initial vise and tools that you can.. as for books.. the orvis tyers guide and the fly tyers desk reference are two good books to start off with.... also.. there are fly kits that are reasonably priced... they give you all the materials you will need to make the fly indicated..

next.. if there is a fly fishing club near you.. check them out .. a lot of them offer free tying classes for members and minimal cost for non members.. they are also an excellent source for information on what flies will or will not work in your area..

if you get a chance to meet up with an experienced tyer as I did.. take advantage of it.. I learned so much in an afternoon of tying that no book can teach you..

lastly.. dont hesitate to ask questions as they arise on this or any other forum you belong too.. I know on this site the tyers here are always willing to help you out ..
