I would select a few patterns in accordance to your ability level for the type(s) of fish that you will be pursuing, and buy the necessary materials to ultimately tie them. Kits usually contain a fraction of what you need, and also consist of materials that you will never use.

Just pick up the materials for a few basic flies then expand from there after you can consistently tie those flies you can expand your collection of tying materials. Check out this fly tying kit, it is in the denver area, http://denver.craigslist.org/spo/1129165311.html

Don't buy a kit, unless its a tool kit. You end up with a lot of stuff you will never use.

What the others have said. Don't buy a kit!!

 

Select your best flies or the best local flies and put togeather the materials to tie those. Far better to do that than have materials lying around from a kit that won't use.

As a fairly new tyer myself, being tying for about 5yrs now I can understand what the others are saying about getting stuff you may not need right now but on the otherhand I think it depends on what you have to pay for the ebay item. If it is cheap enough it might not be a bad idea. Look at the list that they provided and see if any of those materials fit your needs. For me I looked at what the bid was and then looked to see what was in the kit. For example the deer hair, the hooks, the chenile,and the squirrel would be worth it to me because I know how much I have spent on those items buying them seperate at the fly shops. Plus this auction has a return policy, if you get it and it doesn't have the selection you thought it should for the price then send it back. Just another opinion.
