Dont think for one second that tying your own flys is a cheap ordeal you have to look at it being able to create for own flys and catching something on something that you made yourself.

True, but the longer you do it the cheapER it becomes. As you accumulate material, on a more regular basis, there will be times when you may only need few bucks worth of new material to make 10 times or more dollars worth of flies. Its getting started that hurts. You just have to decide whether you're gonna have more money or time.

Tying your own flies and fooling trout adds a "thrill" to a great pastime. That first rise and take of your own hand tied dry fly is "magic". GG

I feel the contagion. Another member shared some of his favorites with me and when I pull in a 10" BG on one of his it feels special.
