Default Purchasing fly assortment

Anyone have a good site to purchase an assortment of flies such as a box of different popular dries and a box of nymphs? Trying to get my nephew somewhat started and setup with a few things as he has shown a major interest. I tried Icky but they are sold out of the assorted boxes.

Thanks for the response checked out his page. I’m more looking for an assortment so I don’t have to sit and sift through everything picking one at a time. I saw he had a bead head assortment that looked good but didn’t see any other packages.

Just go into a fly ship by you; they will gladly toss together some flies that will work in the area you want to fish.

Or....... you could stop into a fly fishing shop and support the local economy and talk to people who know what does work in the waters you fish.
