Being able to tye
the bug is one thing but to do it for weeks on end is another thing
altogether.

As a kid in my early teens, I spent a summer in Livingston, MT. with family
friends. I spent many a days staring at the walls in Dan Bailey's fly shop,
looking at all the mounts and reading the plaques with outlined fish that
were huge... I would regularly stand outside looking though the windows and
watch the dozen or more ladies tying flies. As a kid, I thought to myself,
wow, I like tying flies but I could never site their for hours every day
tying!

I suppose those days of ladies tying are gone? I haven't been to Livingston
in 25 plus years....
