I'm trying to narrow the variety of flies I use here in Florida. I have a bunch of useless or poorly tied flies - size 1's and 2's, mostly - that need to be dumped, but the hooks are good. I [almost] feel guilty about just throwing them away. Without having to strip each fly individually, is there a way I can clean the hooks without damaging them? I'm thinking over a fire but that could draw the temper. Maybe it's not worth the effort.
Ideas?
