I guess my suggestion is there is no better time to start tying than now. You might be surprised how quick you pick it up. You probably have plenty of bear hair for a few mistakes. I encourage anyone that is a fly fisherman to learn to tie. I get a lot of personal satisfaction catching a fish with one of my flies. There are limitless you tube videos that will guide you thru step by step on how to tie each fly. My vise and a few materials were the first purchase I made after I bought my rod n reel setup and a assortment of common saltwater flies. Learning to tie sucked me further into the sport. I am all thumbs and the most unhandy guy you ever met. If I learned to tie anyone can. Regardless of not answering your question I hope you find what your looking for. Tight lines.


Life can be rough on us dreamers.
