Fly tying requires some basic equipment, including the specific materials for the fly pattern being tied, and a fly pattern to be followed. Fly tying equipment enables the angler to efficiently and effectively assemble and secure the materials on the hook. Flying materials were originally limited to a number of furs, feathers, threads and hooks, but today there many different types of natural and synthetic materials used to tie flies.
