Getting me to the Table is like pulling teeth, but once there, you can't pull me away! [signature] Re: [flygoddess] How often do you tie flies? - FOD - 02-26-2009 I agree its very addicting once you sit down. Tie right into the morning if your not careful. I tie more when I start fly fishing more often, cause I run out. during the winter I feel I have plenty so I dont get the urge as much. my question should have been "how often SHOULD you be tying flies" that would have me thinkinLOL[] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] How often do you tie flies? - macfly55 - 02-26-2009 true sis.. but you get to your table waaayyyyy more often than I do.. [] but then again.. you are the fly goddess..

I am usually tying for three so my stash is a little bigger[] I do allot of swaps this winter so I was averaging an hour or two about 5 days a week.

Just goes to show you that when the trout are looking for a meal they're not judgemental.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] How often do you tie flies? - Wbranch_1 - 03-03-2009 [left]During the winter I tie pretty much every day since I'm retired and just hate the cold weather. Right now I've been tying various colored cone head buggers for steelhead in the tribs entering the PA section of Lake Erie. Have also been tying various mayflies to fill slots in my C&F boxes. A couple of times every year I go through my boxes and give away flies so I can justify tying new ones LOL. I don't have the discipline to tie commercially as I get bored tying many of the same pattern on the same day. Here are some SW flies.

Maybe our fly swap this year should include one's spring cleaning rejects.

BTW years ago when I lived in NY [about 10 miles NE of Port Jervis] I use to fish the Neversink. Where do you wet a line in the Catskills?[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] How often do you tie flies? - Wbranch_1 - 03-03-2009 Hey there Dryrod, Glad to meet you - I normally fish the Western Catskill rivers - used to fish the Willowemoc and Beaverkill a great deal but seldom go there any longer. Have a place on the banks of another river. Also fish a little bit near my home in York, PA in the early season at Spring Creek in Bellefonte and Yellow Breeches. Is there a feature on the site to upload personal fish pictures?

Just click on the little picture frame right under the <C> button on the tool bar. Check file then browse through your files until you find the picture you want & double click or click open. Be sure to reduce the picture size to no larger than 450 pixels wide. Clicking Inline button is used for displaying multiple pictures in one post.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] How often do you tie flies? - macfly55 - 03-03-2009 crap..
