Tying flies

how true, i only fish with my own tied flies and catching a fish on my own
design is a real thrill although i am still a long way from catching fish
each trip im a glutton for punishment and persist
cos one day ill come up with that killer fly;-)
cheers

Ed you probably got more info than you planned on!

Without repeating earlier threads, two more points come to mind.
1. It's more fun to catch any fish on the fly you tied yourself vs. a drug
store bought fly tied by some faceless/nameless person in a foreign
country.
2. It's even more fun to catch any fish on a fly you designed yourself.

If you take these two points building on the other posts and your common
sense you'll probably conclude that tying your own will significantly
increase your enjoyment of the sport.

Good luck!

I am thinking of starting to get into tying my own flies. I have found
a
website that sells flies for $0.65. I wonder if it is worth it to
invest
in
the fly tying equipment when I can get them so cheap? How long does it
take
to tie a fly after you get some experience under your belt? I would
think
even the simplest flies would take 20 min. or so. I imagine most who
tie
their own flies do it for the satisfaction of creating something of
beauty
and disregard the economics of tying your own.

Thanks in advance for the answers to my questions
