Getting Started in Fly Tying (for under $50)

What's the bare minimum needed to get started in fly tying? Here's a list that won't break the bank and will have you tying fish-catching flies in no time.

Note, all of the products listed here were available at J. Stockard Fly Fishing or The Fly Shack, at the prices noted as of publishing (July 2021).

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading three new tying videos a week, with the occasional extra video on other days.

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.
