How expensive is it to start up fly tying? and what basic equipment would one need in order to start up?

[wye_wizard]

it can be as expensive or as cheap as you like, you will obviously need a vice,bobbin holder, whip finisher and a decent pair of scissors. then you just buy the materials you need for the flies you want to tie. i reckon you could be tying flies from scratch for 40 or 50 quid. jon mcmillan.

Here is a great article for anyone starting out flytying.

There is a wealth of information on that site and this, but IMHO I found joining a club the best way to start off.
