Go cheap or big?

notbob a écrit :
I'm new to fly fishing, only since last Summer. I'm still pretty bad, but
my casting has improved and I love eating trout. I'm on a limited income so
flies can be expensive. I'd like to learn to tie my own. My question is,
would it be wise to start small with a basic kit like Scientific Anglers
($50@WM) till I decide whether or not to commit to this art, or should I
hold out for more expensive vise, etc, on the assumption that bad gear can
sour a newbie. I'm a firm believer in spending the $$ for quality, but OTOH
I may suck at fly tying. I'd love to hear some opinions. Thank you.

Hi,

You might want to check if there is a Tying club in your neighborhood.
They usually have spare tying kit to let or rent and they will help you
get a start with courses and social gathering. The social thing is the
main ingredient when tying in a club. ;-)
