Life of the Party
Did a qwik search here but didn't find much help. I've started to take an interest in learning fly tying and looking at what ours would recommend to get for starting out. For me, most of what I'd buy would be online so lacking in sales talk for advice. My thoughts were to get a multi package of threads with a variety of colors to cover all the options for different patterns or would it be best to buy individual spools..? Are there any preferred colors to get over others, same goes for hackle/feathers and other materials..? I see that some places offer starter packages for fly tying but I feel there may be a lot of waste with some things that are included never being used. Any suggested dealers that offer good deals on a variety of tying materials..?
I got a nice free fly tying kit from @JLT on this site to see first hand how I'll take to fly tying and have been watching some youtube videos to learn the essentials. From the kit that I got, the only thing I'd need to add is a thread bobbin to get me started. My main interest would be for bass, trout, carp and later salmon/steelhead. For now I'm covered with a vise but should I take a liking to it, I'd be looking to upgrade to a rotary vise like a Renzetti Traveler 2000 Vise or something along that line..
