I bought a kit which had a very cheaply made vise in it. From using it I figured out that I liked tying my own flys.
By the time I had tied all the flys in the kit the vise was about toast. So I bought another vise. $80 Danvise. that I still use today which is about 6 years later.
But I am now Hundreds of dollars later in fly tying materials. I think the only material that I have run out of and had to replace is pheasant tails, peacock herl and some black thread.
Buy the kit and go from there...... Unless you have an experienced tier who can spend a lot of time with you while you are learning.
