chrismartin 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 It all depends on what I'm tying... I have 50 GB of music, so there's a song for every mood For big nasty Pike and Muskie flies I want heavy. Aggressive fish, aggressive flies... aggressive music - Metallica, Mute Math, Blindside, Rage Against The Machine etc. On the opposite end of the scale, when I'm tying mid sized dries (14, 16 18) I like to slow it down - Cowboys and Indians, David Gray, Van Morrison, Cat Stevens Bass flies get me a little giddy... tying craws, Clousers and poppers remind me of hot summer days and warm summer nuights. I need fun, up beat music for that - 311, Jack Johnson, Bedouin Soundclash Steelheading can be epic... extreme elements, extreme locations extreme fish. When tying for a potentially epic adventure I need complex music with layers - Incubus, Supertramp, Angels and Airwaves, TSO Tricos and midges are a chore! I need to remain calm and focused. Vivaldi, Mozart and Pachabel help me with that. When tying flies for the flats, I want to feel like I'm on the flats... turn up the heat and turn on Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley There are many more flies each with their own moods... if I shared them all with you, you would all think I had OCD or some other mental health issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lykos33 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2008 In all honesty, the only "music" I cannot tolerate is rap and hiphop. Anything else I can get some enjoyment from. If you really want to make me happy, put on some classic and or oldies rock....what can I say...I'm old!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVette 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 For tying i like Pink-Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Jethro Tull, Hendrix...The mellower old rock. I save the heavy metal for when i am shootin pool or racing. I also like the mellow stuff when building engines or doing the fine work in the garage and the metal for body work, welding or the grunt labor.

the roughfisher 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 Jerry, Phil, Bob, Mickey, Pig Pen...you know...a little of everything :headbang: nice to see a few other heads around here. I have my mp3 player hooked up to speakers, usually it is cranking out the dead, ratdog, JGB, dylan, or LoM/Reconstruction. I would listen to a hockey game if it was on the radio up here, but I probably wouldn't get much tying in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
