Default Why do you tie flies?

I'm evidently in the radical minority here, but I tie flies to save money.
I don't particularly enjoy it -- it's more like a chore -- but it does
pass the time while listening to the radio or to CDs. Also, it's a pain in
the ass to shop around for the flies I want. I'm possibly the world's most
reluctant shopper.

I haven't spent a fortune on tools and materials, although I have a lot of
materials I'll never use. Collections of specialized tools don't interest
me. My dubbing loop tool is a paper clip.

I couldn't care less whether I catch a fish on my own fly or on a
store-bought fly. If someone were to give me a free supply of whatever
flies I wanted, I'd probably never tie another fly.


daS, ylrut das!
