Five dollar fly tying station 

That is a great way to get kids into fly tying they probably wont all stick with it but some may. I know a few people who spent a lot of money on fly tying set ups and they are just dust collectors now. Starting out with the basics is perfect it gives you room to evole if tying is something you enjoy.

Update: I used these for zoom classes with 4th graders. They were able to tie a spider,streamer, nymph and a wooley bugger with this and it seemed to work well. I was worried that the bases weren't heavy enough but the kids did real well.

Perfect! Thank you again!! ❤❤

I suppose you’ve seen Rim Sung’s setup to tie his RS2? I think it involves some modified vise-grips and a pair of forceps. We really don’t need as much *stuff* to tie flies as we’ve convinced ourselves we do, and you’ve proven it. Early fly tiers proved it, as well, down through the centuries. People won’t want to hear it though. They are wedded to the illusion that they need special stuff to have any hope at all of tying respectable flies! 🤔

I really like your fly tying station. Where did you buy the bobbin and scissors? Thanks.

Where do you buy your fly tying materials? Thanks.
