[/COLOR]Hi Bigtel
Your question has been asked many times on FFF and there will be loads of archived threads dealing with this subject. I wouldn't recommend a kit even though Lureflash and Veniard both do one. The tools are basic and the quality of the materials average. You may finish up with materials you never use.You really need to know what type of flies you are going to use and choose materials appropriately.It's worth investing in good tools if you intend to tie flies for many years.
I put my own starter kit together with the help of an experienced tier. If you must buy a kit you may like to look at the Fly Dressers Guild offer, a years membership and a fly tying kit thrown in. Other benefits are a quarterly magazine and 10% discount from some fly tying stores ie. Flybuyer , Cookshill Fly Tying Materials, Sparton Fishing Tackle, www.fishingmegastore.com.

Good luck

BK
