This expanded version of our popular beginner Starter Kit makes fly tying easy and fun. The kit includes all of the necessary tools and materials to tie 17 of today's best fly patterns. The Wapsi Fly Tying Handbook includes excellent color photos of each fly tying step and fundamental techniques. Kit includes hooks, materials and tools (fly tying vise, bobbin, bobbin threader, scissors, hackle plier).
Tied about a dozen flies so far. Thread seems a little weak, the amount and lengths of the peacock hurl were disappointing and I personally don't care for the fly head cement in the kit (takes too long to dry) but those are small, inexpensive replacements and overall I'm pleased with it. I like the individual package labeling and easy to follow handbook and that there is plenty of material to tie 100+ flies. It would have been nice if there was a whip finisher in the kit.

This is just a great kit, but you may want to purchased a bobbing threader since it's not included it will make your life easier,

I bought this from a nearby fly shop in Michigan when I first started to fly tie and I loved it. Everything was labeled perfectly and there was a big selection of flies to tie. From nymphs to buggers they have it all. You can sit for hours and the instructions and pictures were clear as day.
