Since I started tying last year I have already invested over $600 on equipment & material. It seems like I never have the right material when I want to tie a new fly or so. Thus I have learned to improvise. One thing that I have discovered is that places like JoAnns, Micheals etc sell material at half the price that you will find at the Fly Fishing outlets. One thing that still confuses me is that when someone says go tie one on do they mean tie a fly or have several martinis.

Size 20's have been causing some grief for me. Maybe I need to ask my friend Johnnie if I should have a drink.[/size]
