    I have kept almost all of the flies that I have tied since starting tying in 1974 - nothing gets thrown away. I usually, in the course of a year, find myself giving flies away to people that I meet on the water, Then, I replace those patterns back at the bench. It is part of the sharing aspect of fly fishing that I firmly believe in. It was done to me - I pass it forward...

     

    I have , on the first page of my blog, a box of nymphs that was the first bunch of patterns I put together when I started. How would you know that?

     

    Heh,heh...

    Charlie,

     

    Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone carries Dai Rikki hooks which are cheaper than most other hooks.

    as you progress in your tying abilities, some of these other hook designs may peak interest in developing unique variations on tested or on your own inventions...

     

     

    Good tying!!!
