Fly tying bits n bobs

[pragmatist]

Have just purchased a vise and some tools, Can anybody tell me what feathers or stuff i need to start tying some river dry and wet patterns, Nymphs and emergers and stuff. Also a good shop to buy from.
Thanks,

that should get you started material wise, as for where to get it the choice is yours.. theres quite a few sellers on the forum

choose say 5 of the flies you use the most,work out from SBS on here what materials you need and buy them.No point in buying material you will never need (wish i could take my own advice)

all the best Nick

Concentrate on tying spiders. They should get you started and do not require many materials individually. Search the forum for patterns and sbs.
