My wife did some research, and as a result, knows more about flytying then I do. She bought me a griffen montana mongoose vise, bodkins, a bobbin, hackle plyers, fly glue, thread and a whip finish tool that I know is going to whip me good and a pair of scissors so expensive, I will have to open a barber shop to pay for them. Today I ordered an assortment of materials off of ebay. Now I need you good people.

Where should I start? What fly do you recommend I start with to learn the basics?

What number should I call when I snap trying to figure out what the heck a whip finish is?

Thanks for the help.
