You won't save any money tying your own flies. Sure each fly costs less then you can buy it for, example a package of dubbing costs $4.50 and you can tie literally 100 - 200 plus flies from it depending on the size.
But you will buy more dubbing and more pheasant tail feathers and more and more and more, until there is no end!! [

In truth I buy about half my flies and tie the other half. I buy mostly dry flies and the classic nymphs cause like I said you really can't save any money by tying them, especially if you can find a coupon or sale. But I also use a lot of my own patterns, and streamers and nobody sells those. So tying is a good hobby to master as well.
