Stuff I Like: Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing Kit

Saltwater flies are way too expensive. Tarpon patterns for example, both online and in shops, sell for around $5 a piece. This is for a hook, some thread, a couple of feathers or strips of rabbit fur, and five minutes of someone's time. Most saltwater patterns are really easy to tie you can save a whole lot of money by making your own. A couple of my anglers brought this Orvis kit down here with them last week and set up a fly tying desk right in their hotel room. This is a well thought out collection of materials and gear and just about covers everything you'll need for all the established flats patterns. I especially liked the instruction book and they should really sell this as a stand alone item. If you've thought about getting started with fly tying this kit is something you'll want to consider. It's well worth the price and you can check it out on the link to the right.
