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 tony "John Lindsey" wrote in message ... 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! John "egildone1" wrote in message ... 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 Ed |
