Too many? - Dryrod - 05-10-2013 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Taking stock of my fly collection before hitting the water, I've come to realize that I have several hundred flies stored in all sorts of containers. it is not that I will ever use that many for it is just that I like tying flies. FG no doubt probably has a few thousand on hand. Do you tie more flies than you need?[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Too many? - flygoddess - 05-10-2013 [quote Dryrod][font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Taking stock of my fly collection before hitting the water, I've come to realize that I have several hundred flies stored in all sorts of containers. it is not that I will ever use that many for it is just that I like tying flies.

Tied more than I have used before however[] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Too many? - macfly55 - 05-15-2013 I always bring more than I can use...:-)... not always by choice.. just by habit... plus I am usually only on the water for a few hours... not on long trips of several days.. but on those occassions I usually have 3 or four boxes of different flies with me and usually end up with one or two that work that day.. :-) [signature] Re: [macfly55] Too many? - flygoddess - 05-15-2013 You don't lie....LOL same here [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Too many? - macfly55 - 05-15-2013 Oh I lie... about the size of the catch... but thats about it.. I think.. [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] Too many? - Dryrod - 05-18-2013 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Just got back from the Eastern Sierras @Bishop. Fished the Weir and Bishop Creek system. Had tons of flies with me but only used one pattern and that was a Griffith Gnat. It caught fish so I didn't bother to change what worked. Also [size 3]packed 3 rods but only used my two wt. Was rather up[size 3]set as to the pat[size 3]h of [size 3]destruction[/size] left by the spinners. Counted 6 dead fish in one area[size 3]. Guess that they never heard of reviving their catch before releasing. No you don't throw them back towards the middle of the stream.[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/#008000][/font] [signature]
