Can anyone suggest a good rwelatively less expensive source for quality
flies?

If you have the time, there are few flies easier to tie than wooly buggers.
I'd suggest you as the relatively inexpensive source. It's almost *the*
beginner fly tyer fly. If you need an excuse to start tying, you could just
about save the price of a decent vise tying them yourself.
