I can certainly understand why you would want to keep this a secret...Originally Posted by Allan
Herefishy,
I presume it is a competing fly tying/fishing forum.
SGH = Sparse Grey Hackle, but I think he meant SGM (Sparse Grey Matter), a site devoted to Catskill fly fishing.

Alan,
I read what you told him. It was eerily similar to what I suggested, even down to the video suggestion........
My recommendation:
"Put all he can afford into a decent vise, a few other tools, some hooks, dubbing, chenille, soft hackle feathers, and something for wing cases and show him how/where to watch YouTube videos of basic, easy flies"
What he did:
The guy decided on a good quality vise, a few other tools, and some materials to tie wooly buggers...and will practice tying some simple flies..........

I'll repeat. If he's being mentored by an older, experienced tier he should expect to get a great deal of "starting quantities" of material from him and allow him to concentrate on tools. Most of us who have been at the craft for multi-decades have enough material to start our own stores.
In some TV commercials these days we see emphasis placed on comparing your dollar savings and your life expectancy.
Some of us should think the same about our tying material stockpile.
Come on guys, give the new folks a break.
Whoops!

I agree 100%. I wouldn't by a thing from a guy that posts such vague information yet wants everyone to chime in. And by the way, what difference does it make how many posts per year a person makes, maybe we are BUSY doing other things than posting! You're really coming off as an AS#!
Really?
