What do I need to start fly tying?
A vise, bobbin, scissors, hackle pliers, whip finisher, and basic materials (hooks, thread, feathers, dubbing). Starter kits with everything included are available. We can help put together a beginner setup.
Is fly tying worth learning?
Absolutely — it saves money on flies, lets you create custom patterns, and is deeply satisfying. Many anglers find it as enjoyable as the fishing itself. It's also a great rainy day activity.
What brands of tying materials do you stock?
Wapsi (largest US material supplier), Dr Slick (tools), EJ Todd, and others. We carry hooks, threads, feathers, hair, synthetics, eyes, UV resins, and all necessary tools.
Can I tie saltwater flies with your materials?
Yes — we stock saltwater-specific hooks, synthetic materials that don't absorb water, EP fibres, flash materials, and weighted eyes perfect for tying saltwater patterns for Perth species.
