Fly tying is a great hobby,,, every fly that comes off your vise is like that juicy earthworm you dug as kid and threw into the worm can,,, it has the potential to be the one that catches you the biggest fish ever!!!
There is great deal of satisfaction in catching a fish on a fly you tied, even more so if it is a pattern tinkered with and designed by yourself to suit a particular fishing situation.
I have always thought that fly fishing makes one a better angler as you need to learn more about your target species to have success, and fly tying adds to that knowledge base.
Lots of good reasons to tie your own flies,,,,But if you start tying flies to save money, well, that folks is just false economy!!!!
