Your best bet would be to start out in a flyshop and take a look at some of the accessories that you may already have and what you will need. The mainstays of our flyboxes here in NC and VA are clouser and deceiver patterns, which are more methods of tying than exact patterns. Start with these basics, learn the techniques, then get creative! Flytying is a great hobby, and like anything else it can be a little frustrating in the beginning. Try to get someone to show you the basics, invest in a good how-to book and decent equipment, and you will have a great head start. Good luck on your quest.
