I'm not bad at tying flies. In fact, I'm rather proud of the quality of my dries and wets. Yet, still, if I was rich, I'd have some personal tyer so I could quit.
Why would I want to quit tying, you ask? Do I hate the labors involved in fly tying? Nope. The problem is that I'm a disorganized slob. My tying table looks like someone
blew up a grenade in a cage filled with rabbits and chickens. I bought plastic shoe boxes. I bought those trays shelved in a cart. I bought zip lock bags by the boxful. But I remain pathetic in my slovenly torpor. The trouble is, I am the ADHD poster boy. That's right, I'm a kind of low-level celebrity when it comes to being disorganized and clueless when it comes to all those spools of thread, the fifty boxes of hooks, the beads, fur, biots, feathers, antron and zelon, the hundred packs of dubbing, packs of cdc, 30 patches of deer and elk hair.The rest of the house is spotless, due to the organized mind of my wife. Imagine Martha Stewart as married to Oscar Madison. I'm lucky she hasn't stabbed me in my sleep!
