Look at some easier and standard Bow flies, like Prince Nymph, Copper John, Evil Weevil, Wire Worm, Wooly Bugger, Bow Bugger, Black Ant, San Juan Worm, Hare's Ear Nymph. Now, you really do not need a lot of different materials to tie all those....make a materials list for each, and you will see that they share a lot of the required materials....then head down to FishTales and have the staff help you find what you need, and you are off to a great start without breaking the bank.
