I personally tie for the enjoyment and the accomplishment of doing it. It
is relaxing. Just like fishing!

That said, if I came into a fortune tomorrow, I'd probably give
away all my tying stuff and never tie again..... and not feel I
was any worse off as a fly fisherman.

For one thing, having tied, I'm now a far better judge of what
makes a well-made trout fly. Even if I stopped tying, I think
I'd still forever be a more discriminating consumer of flies. In
the end, that's perhaps the greatest profit I've had from
learning to tie in the first place.
