the end, that's perhaps the greatest profit I've had from
learning to tie in the first place.



Seems to me that by defining tying as a "should do" to save money you risk,
actually nearly insist on, undermining the "want to."

Few people like to do "should dos" and "must dos" nearly as well as "want to
dos" ... it's called human nature G

Try tying the flies you want to, buying the ones you don't want to tie, and
removing all obligation and "work-like" duty from the decision of which is
which. You just might find the list of "want tos" growing if you remove
the "have to."
