Yep I got to echo that TD1 posted due to the various types of materials that are required for different flies you could easily spend more on tying then buying flies. But most only fish a handful of flies and in the long run after you've gotten your materials its possible to save a little money. But don't count on it [laugh][laugh][laugh]
That being said the convenience of having the flies you want is priceless. Not all stores are going to carry all flies, plus there are what I call home brew recipes that you wont find in a store, add in you can make variations to existing patters, and tie flies riverside
IMHO fly tying is the way to go.
Tying doesn't have to be expensive once you got the hang of things ask your wife or GF to go with you to walk around your local craft store ( the look on her face will be priceless [laugh] )
