I can understand why people like to do it. It's art or craft. Very
personal art or craft.. Just not my kind of art . I've heard what
it can run in long term costs. Buying new releases of every art
program I've ever owned for the computer every single year probably
wouldn't come near it.

One may also do it for practically nothing. This was once an art in itself.

The following quote is by no means a personal criticism. If you don´t want
to tie flies, then you don´t want to. It just seems appropriate to the
thread, and the original post.

"The fly fisherman who knows nothing of his flies is as great an anachronism
as the painter who knows nothing of his paints.
More, he is a bad man of business".
(J.W. Dunne, "Sunshine and the Dry Fly" 1924)
