I just recently started to take on fly fishing (as in a week ago). So far I have had a really fun time with it, although I have been really mad a time or two. I would really like to get into tying my own flies. Being on the fire department (and living there, too), I have a lot of "down time" I guess you could say. My question is, where do I start? I know about getting the vice and etc., but what are some good ones on the market? What are some of the tools I will need? What materials are recommended? I live near Taneycomo Lake in Branson, MO so rainbow and brown trout would be my target fish. Also, what would be some good flies for perch and bass? I have been told that it can be a lot of fun fishing for them. I have checked around on the internet, but a lot of it is pretty general for other areas. Anyways, and help (or even websites) would be greatly appreciated.
