I have a daughter, 8 yo, that is smarter than a whip, creative, and has the patience of a saint (would have to in order put up w/ her mother). She LOVES to fish and has been flyfishing for a bit now.

My problem is that we are sorta running out of Christmas ideas. She has microscopes, telescopes, biodomes, and writes books and grows fungus for fun. She is not interested in video games like a "normal" child. It was recommended that maybe a flytying kit might be an challenging idea and I thought it would be wonderful if she could learn this art. She fishes dry flies.

Can anybody recommend anything to help me get her started? I am a single mother raising two kids by myself...so it needs to be cost conscious taking into consideration that I live in Billings, MT w/ no large sporting goods stores in the immediate vicinity.

Thank you for all your help in advance.
