Used to tie everything myself. I have really dry cracked skin on my fingertips so tying is getting harder, especially on smaller flies. Plus my eyes are over 60 now!
So now I buy a lot of BWO's and such.
I still tie my own chironomids cuz nothing commercial is close to matching the local bugs. Leeches and streamers are no problem for me still.
I will admit that with on line suppliers (trick flies comes to mind) offering good products at very reasonable prices it is hard to get excited about tying any more.
