I do plan on tying but until I can get the tools and materials, i will continue to buy.

So 2 bucks is a lot? They arent just trout flies, all the wets, dry, streamers, nymphs of all sizes are the same price. I dont know much about flies but I am experienced with other types of fishing, and the fly looks like what I would considere(based on my knowledge) attractive to fish.

And I was thinking more the online kits like from cabela's and bass pro.
