utyer 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2014 I tied my first flies in 1955 or 6, they were pretty pathetic attempts. I tied off and on for the next few years, and then in 65, I got serious about it. Fifty seven years from my first attempts, and 47 years since I got serious. I have enough materials to last me another 40 years or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
