Everything You Need to Tie Your First Fly. Nothing You Don't.
The hardest part of getting into fly tying isn't learning the craft — it's figuring out what to buy first. The Umpqua Beginner's Fly Tying Kit solves that completely. Open the box and you're ready to go: vise clamped to the table, bobbin threaded, hooks sorted, materials laid out. No separate orders, no missing pieces, no excuses.
We carry this kit at basin + bend because it's built around real components — Tiemco™ hooks and Metz™ hackle, the same brands serious tiers use — not the cheap substitutes that come in most beginner sets. You won't outgrow this kit on your first day.
At $109.97 — $50 off the $159.99 retail price — it's also one of the best-value entry points into fly tying we've seen.
