Honestly man, as a horder of fly tying materials, and a guy thay can't go a day without tying a fly...what's up? I don't want your materials, i have more than my kids will ever be able to tie with if they wanted to tie flies, which they don't.
Not trying to call you out, just curious why you need a break?
@Bajema, I've seen you tie some sweet flies. I don't want to make any assumptions, but you need to be in the fly tying community.
We all know how much it takes get into fly tying, and how much time it takes. Don't give it up for anything. Make a compromise, make sure you know the person (even if it's your kid), how much fly tying time means to you, and why. And teach them too.
For me, fly tying is a way to be on the water, when you can't physically be there. I got 3 kiddos (16, 13, and 5), and as much as I have tried I haven't gotten any of them into fly fishing or tying. I've been super chill about it, hoping they will kind of find their way after my introduction...
I tie flies now, in the hopes that someday I will get to fish them That someday might be next week, or it might be the next decade (especially if it's a Crab or Shrimp!).
Anyways, keep your stuff, if you get a chance to tie, do it. If not after a decade, then yeah, hit us back up!
