re: The Fly Fishing Thread: Questions, pics, discussion all here

You're welcome. I like the idea from above about just picking a few flies and buying the material for those. I never bought a starter kit and am glad I didn't.

I can't wait for you to land your first fish on a fly you tied. To me it just adds a whole new level to the experience. It's also nice to have control over what flies you own when that short notice trip is coming up and you can't get over to the fly shop to buy them. It also stings a lot less financially when you lose one you tied yourself.
