Default Help w source for flies

Rarely, if ever, do I disagree with Joe but I do in this instance.
Tying your own flies has many things to recommend it, but saving
money is not one of them. Even with wooly buggers by the time all
is tallied you're gonna get off cheaper buying rather than tying.


My mind just multiplied a guess of $2.50 per fly times a hundred, and $250
seemed a more than adequate capital expenditure for materials & tools for a
hundred wooly buggers. Yeah, I agree there's no saving money tying a dozen
flies for personal use, but in production quantities, it seemed reasonable.
Needless to say, I valued labor at zero in that calculation. After all,
tying is fun. :-)
