Here is an acceptable starter kit, it has all the tools you would need.

Don't get a kit that has a bunch of feathers, threads, and other materials you won't really need. You will build them up automatically. You can start out with some hooks and ask around for some deer hair and elk hair, ask mom (yes even if you are married) for some yarns, some embroidery thread left overs, (the ends that don't get used) pick up a pack or two of dubbing, ask anyone who duck, pheasant, turkey, chucker or grouse hunts for feathers.
Learn a couple of streamers first, Mickey Finns, Bunny's, muddlers, Wooly buggers, then move on to some larger dries like Elk Hair Caddis in a 14, then 16, if you like all that you can buy a cape and your off to the races.
You tube is your friend.
