Topic: How to get fly tying stuff on a budget

Guru, how about this... list 5 to 10 flies you'd like to tie.  I could talk to one of the f/f clubs (or more if they wish to participate) to put together a "care" package together for each of those flies.  Just enough to get you started.  After which you could keep an open eye for any deals that come along (e.g., Orvis $25 off $50 purchase coupon, Cabelas 30% off tying materials, Mayer 30% off tying materials, etc.)  to restock.

You get special treatment because you're "the future" (kinda like those 16" reds I release).

I shop at Hobby Lobby and Michaels all the time.  They have a ton of materials there.  I like their ostrich and pheasant for feathers, and they have rabbit skins.  I buy paints and paint pens there.  I buy doll eyes there.  There is a lace type product that I use for Cypert Minnows.  I buy bead chain at the local hardware store.  You can buy a piece used for a light pull, and it will last you a long time.  I buy foam at the hobby stores too.
