What type of flies do you want to tie? For trout, barra. what?
A lot of materials you can collect yourself.
If you know anyone who has chooks, you can cut some hackles from them.
You can dye white chook feathers whatever colours you want.
You can get wool pretty easily from old jumpers or the like.
You will find dead animals and birds of various kinds on the road from time to time and you can get a few feathers/ fur from them.
Tinsel, silk/cotton/nylon thread and so on is easy to get from craft or sewing shops.
Have a think and a look around for what you want.
Anything you can't collect, you'll have to buy.
I've been making my own flies for trout fishing for years and all of the above is what I use and they all catch fish.
Hi in regards to fly tying materials, I have all ways found fly fisherman to be a resourceful lot. And as the lads say, it is all around you just take a walk along the tide line at the beach. Up hear in North Queensland we have a store called spot light, and they sell ever kind of feather,fur and fluff, along with beads cottons and flash, all at low prices compared to fishing shops. I am shore you will have the same where you live. hope this can help you.
