I know I get antsy just tying a dozen flies for a swap. I could not
imagine 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month,


I've had discussions about this with 3 different "famous" tiers ... each one
a highly intelligent individual ( mentioned because it seems to me that as
such they should be more prone to boredom?? ... mental repetitive stress
syndrome )

They all mentioned simply getting into "a different space" ( or similar
wording ) when tying and suffering little boredom.


I found that a big surprise..



FWIW, I also suggested to each that they try "sets" of flies packaged in a
fancy box and sold as "original TierNameHere flies" for an increased price,
rather than just adding to a shop's bin. None thought the idea worth
considering and that the market was for flies to catch fish not collect ...
another surprise, to me, .... even though I've never considered collecting
flies I assumed others did.
