Every year at this time I dig out my fly boxes and take inventory. I make lists of my favorite and best producing flies. I organize the bobbins, spools and tools on the the fly tying table. I realize that today I have more money than time when it comes to flies. And I don't have enough to buy the 3 capes I need to restore the contents of my fly boxes. There was a time when time and money didn't seem as hard to find. Time is so scarce these days.
This year I've taken a critical assessment of my fly stocks only to find that most of my flies are used and real old! Used and old... Over 10 years old! I realize that it's been that long since I've spent much time at the vise. It's funny but that surprised me.
This year my New Years resolution is to get back to serious tying. Not in quantity but quality. Oh and to to buy some of Ivan's beautiful ties at Bright's Shop.
