Fly tying for beginners
Tying your own flies is one of the pleasures of fly fishing, and easier to start than many think. The flies that take the most fish in put and take, such as the Woolly Bugger, are also among the easiest to tie.
Why tie
Cost: materials last for many flies. Fit: you can tie the colours and sizes your water wants. And the feeling of catching a rainbow on a fly you tied at the kitchen table.
What you need
A vice, a bobbin, scissors and a little material. A starter kit is often the cheapest way in. Details: tools and materials.
