Default Orvis Premium Fly Tying Kit?

I've been tying for over 20 years and I have never seen a set that was worth
half of what it is selling for. As others have stated, get into a lesson,
buy the materials you need for the lesson. Pick out another fly. Buy the
materials you need for tha fly. Keep going......... You will end up with a
lot better value. you will also end up wtih the materials you need and use.

Even if you buy this kit, you will soon be at the fly shop to buy something
that isn't in the kit

Hi,

I'm a non-fly-tying fly fisherman - one of those - who finally thinks
he needs to get into tying.

I've combed your old posts, and read all your warnings against buying
a fly-tying kit... yet, still, I can't help but think that a good kit
might not be a bad way to go, simply for learning's sake. I
understand that I'll certainly be buying new materials (and not using
some that come with the kit), possibly buying some new tools later
on... and that overall it might not be the most cost-effective way to
go... but even so, I still can't help but think this might just make
things a bit easier to start.

With that in mind, does anyone have any thoughts on the Orvis Premium
Fly Tying Kit? I ask about this one because I'd seen a post back when
saying that it actually wasn't so bad...

Any thoughts on this, or suggestions for any other good kits, are
greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

I wouldn't go that far. That are tool sets, at least, that are very
worthwhile - in fact a slight discount if you happen to want those tools.
