My advice would be to see if a local flyshop (or fly tying
organization) offers lessons and provides the tools and materials.
Enroll, finish the course, and *then* buy the necessary tools and
materials.

Dave speaks wisely, Tim.

After a course you'll hopefully also have a better idea what "good"
materials and tools look (and feel) like.
