I know there has recently been some posts on using budget rods and reels. I thought I would add this article I found regarding building a budget fly tying station.

The article was originally done in 2008, so I was worried the cutting board set would not be at Walmart anymore, but it was!

I was able to purchase all the Dowels, Wood Glue, and Cutting Boards for around 25$!

This is how mine came out:



It really kept me a lot more organized and able to tie a good bit more efficiently. I'm not having to dig through a pile of fur and feathers for my scissors every 2 minutes. Anyways thought I would pass this on.
