getting started .. what do I need?

[flies_only]

I like Sportsman's for cheap quick stuff, but whenever I talk to anyone there they seem to know near nothing about fly tying or technique, so I like to go to a local fly only shop like Western Rivers in SLC or 4 Seasons in Heber. they specialize in fly fishing and they always have good techniques and often will put on fly tying classes as well.
