i would also say it depends on what you are tying. i mean to pay 2 bucks for a san juan worm or a sparkle dun seems crazy when you can tye a seasons worth in an hour. i try to tie all my easy patterns myself ( pheasant tails, sparkle duns, x-caddis, beetles, etc.) and buy the more complicated and time consuming patterns ( hoppers, stimulators, etc.) you will find that is a really cool feeling to catch a fish on a fly you tyed yourself. then again if you don't like it don't do it. life's too short to spend your free time doing something you hate.
