Cyli: are you Sedona? I'm seriously considering a year off back home, in
Flag, and if so, maybe we can hook up and do some fishing. I bet if I
brought some tying gear down and helped you tie up something managable that
caught a few fish, you discover why so many fishermen tie their own flies.
I've only been at it for about a year, and now there are a handful of
patterns I use that I will never purchase. I still have to buy some of the
more complex ones, though, and I expect I always will.

Nope. I'm in the winter state. MN. I think I'd love Sedona or at
least the area. Prying my husband out of here, where he loves his
golf course and his golf buddies and his golf job, would be the
killer. Though some of those more easterly semi-southern states look
good, too.

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)

Good to see you back, Mike.

Amazingly enough, it is quite nice to be "back". I can´t imagine why
really! I seem to have caught the beginnings of "cabin fever season"
anyway, so at least it should be fun !!!!

But thanks to you and others for the welcome!
