Hey everyone! So I recently inherited my grandpa’s fly tying kit along with a bunch of other fly tying equipment. I’m a beginner fly fisherman and have always wanted to get into tying my own flies, so this felt like the perfect push to finally start!
I can tell some pieces are missing just from the empty velvet holders in the case but I couldn’t even tell you what each tool is called yet when it comes to tying! I can’t get it to stand up right either.
A few things I’m hoping you guys can help me with:
1. Can anyone tell me what tools I have from the photos?
2. What looks like it’s missing?
3. Is what I have good enough to actually learn on or should I just grab a beginner kit?
4. Is it worth tracking down the missing pieces or cheaper to just start fresh?
Really want to use his stuff if it makes sense but don’t want to make it harder on myself than it needs to be starting out!
Thanks so much 🎣
Photos attached!
