{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Good Reasonably Priced Fly-Tying Kit for Beginner

Thanks Everyone! All great suggestions. 

I like the Helios analogy, I think what I am looking for is something like the Clearwater of vices, something reasonable but not so terrible it turns me off the whole experience. Sounds like the Wapsi kit may be a way to go, but I'll definitely keep an ear out and come to the next beer tie.

There was also a certain appeal to the kits because they come with all the tools.

Hi All, 

I'm reasonably new to fly fishing (picked it up last summer and spent about 3 months last summer exploring the area with reasonable success) and I really enjoy reading all the tips and stories on this forum. 

I'm about to be laid up for a few weeks following knee surgery, so I thought that might be a good time to try my hand at fly tying since I can't go out an practice my cast or watch fish laugh at my feeble presentation efforts. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on a good kit for beginners that is not too expensive and has all the tools I would need to get started. I saw that Orvis has a kits for about $180 bucks, but was wondering if anyone had other recommendations. 

I haven't been able to make it to a beer tie yet, but hoping I can soon.

Thanks!

Michael
