Warning to new fly tiers...

Great post SilverFly.
I showed my wife this thread and we both busted out in laughter mostly aimed at me.
I laughed so hard until I noticed you had a bigger pile.

2 totes of fly tying? shit thats nothing

Nice organization, Norm.

3 months after moving still need to get tying stuff set up. Started on it yesterday but ended up focusing on rods.



Found a simple solution with some cheap angle brackets, scrap pine, and foam strips.



Not fancy but works for now.

Always replace the cap on your head cement/varnish immediately after using

Yeah, when we moved into the rental "temporarily", 3 years ago,

Lol, we ‘temporarily’ put a 40’ container rental in the yard 18 mo ago
At least the neighbors aren’t complaining, yet.

......on the other hand I have reduced the number of flies I carry around by about 80%. The other half of that equation should probably be an 80% reduction in tying materials I suppose. Plus, after decades of tying flies I am just bored with it and would rather spend $200 on pre-built flies than tying materials. Burnout for sure but catching fish has lost little of its appeal so far.
