Tying Tools

Post by SenkoSnack808 » Wed Jan 31, 2007 12:28 pm

If any is into tying then can you give me the basic tools needed to do most flies? I have a kit in line but it comes with no tools. I am getting my income tax soon, and it will al be going to fly tying.




Any help is good, thanks, Corey

Corey - check tackleunderground.com, not a ton of fly info there, but there is some, and some very helpful people, there was even a recent thread about where to get stuff online that might help.

Post some pictures when you gt some tied!

I've been to winston rod fourms, and man those guy's are great. I am tying all the time, ever since I bought a cheap kit from BPS. I am upgrading my tools, and some new materials in thenext month after I become a little better.

I'll post some pics soon, Dam

great to hear you are enjoying tying, it is one of my favorite things about fly fishing. Let me know if you need any special materials, Id be happy to send you something, Ive got so much stuff I dont know what to do with it all. If you would like to see some of my personal patterns let me know. Take it easy
