I know, here is the first one saying (s)he is going to be late with their flies...I know...I committed and now can't perform. I am still in the swap, I have six down, six more to go, and I should be done by tomorrow (if I get more of my material by then).
To make this threat something more than just a lousy excuse for my lack of organization I want to bring this up:
This experience (the fly swap) has been very interesting. I usually never tie more than three flies in a row using the exact same pattern and the exact same colors. I usually get bored after two flies, and then tie up something else (ADD ?).Now I have been tying six flies, and by tommorrow it will be 12 flies of the exact same colors, material, and pattern (for the most part). I don't think I will ever stock my fly boxes that way, but it sure makes a nice little army on my desk.
How do other people stock their fly boxes ? Like me tie 50 million different patterns, stuff them into the box until it looks like a hippy sweater torn-up and stuffed into a box. Or do you tie only 3-5 useful patterns/colors and have a whole bunch of them ?
Just wondering.
