I teach a fly tying class and one of my students wanted a fly tying kit. I did a lot of research for him and the best deal that I could come up with was putting one together yourself. I put together a 17 piece kit, complete with all necessary tools (if you buy a premade kit, you get tools that you have to replace or that you just don't use), 200 hooks, hackle, thread, dubbing, chenille, calf tail, and flashabou for $68. I purchased the "kit" through Hook and Hackle and received a 20% discount. I suggest putting a kit together yourself - that way you get exactly what you want.
