gaffer 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 As a beginner you might not be ready for these yet but: Beadalon wire for articulated flies, Artbin boxes for home made fly boxes for big flies. Thin wire for dubbing brushes They also have a good selection of wire that you can use for wire San Juan worm and Copper Johns. Since you are starting out, I would try to decide what flies you want to tie, and get you supplies based on that, especially if you are on a limited budget. Buy what you need and then go from there.

FrequentTyer 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2013 Dollar Stores have packages with 3-4 peacock feather in the pack. I purchased 3 packs just for "throw away flies", ones I wouldn't care too much if I lost to a tree monster or a squirrel fish. Lo and behold the peacock was better quality than the herl I had purchased specifically for tying flies. Just an FYI, the same would be true if you bought peacock eyes from a flyshop. The strung herl is never as good quality as you get off the eye, and I'm finding that I can tie some patterns with one or two herls from an eye that would take 4-6 from a pack of strung herl. So in the end I don't think the strung herl makes much sense anymore. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontheo 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2013 The dollar store. First time I have ever been in one and I come across packets of organza. Winging material that's looks so real. I bought all they had for about five bucks. Then got out my wing cutters and some burners and made a mess till I got it right. Where can you go for five bucks for entertainment like that?
