I would recommend getting the materials from a local fly shop if possible. They can usually better help you select materials for the job at hand and give you some pointers helping with the learning curve. Not all bucktails or natural materials are created equal and it takes time to learn to select the better quality from all that is on hand.

As for the epoxy you want to be careful about epoxy. The five or ten minute variety will yellow rather quickly. If you are using the teasers with bluefish this probably won't be a problem as you will lose some. But for striper fishing I would not go crazy epoxying a bunch of flies. A year from now those flies will be really yellow. Especially if they get exposed to sunlight as most of the inexpensive epoxy does not have UV inhibitors.

Either way have fun.
