[#502800]Great advice ........ I started tying because I was going to Alaska with a group of guys and I thought I could tie a couple hundred Russian River flies better and cheaper than I could buy them ....... I guess I did, but now I have a room in my house devoted to fly tying.[/#502800]

[#502800]It is a sport in itself and an art form which you will come to appreciate only after you have tied for awhile........If you want green legs on a twisted hopper; Why not?[/#502800]
[#502800]If you want to invent your own patterns; Why not?[/#502800]
[#502800][/#502800]
[#502800]Find a tyer friend that lives close by before you go out and buy a kit ....... Have them show you how to tie a couple of simple patterns with his/her stuff, so you know what you really need ........ Some kits contain low quality tools and supplies that are stiff and cumbersome to use and may discourage you from tying.[/#502800]

[#502800]Good luck and enjoy.[/#502800]
