jaymack Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Here's a sample of some flies i've tied since starting about a month ago. Really enjoying it so far and it's definitely nice to have flies that cost less than 50 cents each when you lose them. Sorry if the iPhone camera pictures aren't that great. 6 Quote
jnovlan Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Those are looking very good!!! I am thinking of getting my adult son some kind of a starter kit or similar for Christmas. As a novice tier, do you have any suggestions?? Hope to hear from some pros as well. Don't really want to steal your thread so will ask the pros. Quote
jaymack Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 My tying stuff was actually an early Christmas present too. I went to the fly shop and got a solid vice (Dyna-king kingfisher) along with some basic tools and just the materials I needed to tie the flies I wanted to start with. I am really happy I went this way as opposed to a cheap kit that has a bunch of stuff I may not use. Quote
ggp Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Great looking flies . They will produce some awesome fish too! Quote

Solid Vise, Solid tools, and just look up the flies for the rivers that he might fish and get fly specific materials, alot of the materials cross over from fly to fly. im sure your end up happier this way Quote
searunbows Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I enjoy catching fish but when you catch a fish on a fly you tied yourself its a different feeling all together, like mayfly said welcome to the addiction. Quote
ronburgundy Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Wow. Looks awesome for not tying for very long. Mine were WAAY uglier than that. Some still are... Quote
