I know that it is the beginner's fiy and I have tied a few in my times-
-but I cannot f*-in see to tie a size 12 or 14 fly anymore
and I am not too happy about that.
I also, a long time ago decided, that w my leisure time - I would rather
play abnd study music than tie flies - my choice
But as I get older - I have no choice now but to buy'em

You have several reasons for not tying, but for those who are only bothered
by eyesight, I use one of these. There are many cheaper and more expensive
versions, they work fine.
