STRUGGLING! Gripes about tying flies

[RICHYD4U]

Eddie-
Don't be frustrated, I couldn't tie a bugger without the proper fly tying tools either! You should look into a beginners fly tying kit. It will come with a vise, bobbins, whip finish, scissors, and some commonly used materials. That is a good way to start. They are usually affordable as well. Bass Pro, Gander, Cabelas, Orvis, they all have these kits.....even Walmart used to. And like Rock said, go online and watch some tutorials or youtube videos. Those will really help ya. And yes................IT IS ADDICTING!!! Good luck!

Bass Pro has some good beginner kits, that comes with all of the tools to get you started and it also has a dvd to show you how to tie some basic flies. I bought my son this one: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...004000_175-4-0

Thanks for the advice, guys. Actually, I got to Bass Pro about 4:30 and some guys from DCFF were still there. They recommended getting a beginners kit, which I did. I watched Lefty Kreh's video last night, and I'm fired up about trying out my new tools. I could be headed for a breakthrough!!!
