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.


Rarely, if ever, do I disagree with Joe but I do in this instance.
Tying your own flies has many things to recommend it, but saving
money is not one of them. Even with wooly buggers by the time all
is tallied you're gonna get off cheaper buying rather than tying.
And if you pay yourself minimum wage you're gonna be *way* deep
in the hole. ;-)
