Hello, was wondering if any of you ty flies to save money or as a regular hobby? I would say if I was to start today, I would think I would ty to save money. How much money does it REALLY save you if you stopped buying and started tying? The reason I say this is because I basically lose 5-6 flies a week getting snagged on bottom,rocks,hidden logs,BIG fish,etc. Can you say I can save nearly 50% of my money tying my own? Is paying the extra 50% worth my time? What are your guys experiences? Would really appreciate it!

Thanks! Peter

Funny, I met this guy a week ago and he said he uses flies he tied to catch Steelhead, he says he catches Steelhead on his particular pattern ALL THE TIME. He showed me the fly; (I was expecting some fancy-schmancy-General-Practictionor-Royal-Hilton looking thing)... "It was a #2 hook with 20 strands of tan elk hair superglued with brown thread!!!" He landed 2 within the next 30 minutes!!??? Hummm, the next 4 hrs I snagged and lost 6 store bought rubberlegged stone fly nymphs at 1.85 a pop!
Maybe I will start tying my own...
