Until you complete their 12 step program you can try the following to cut down on your obsessive tying. First you will need a bottle of your favoite libation. Pour yourself a couple of fingers. Then start a new fly, and as you fininsh, the pattern, finish the glass. Repeat until you can't tie any more. Of course by the time you cure yourself of one problem, you may just have another one.

FliTrap4 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2011 I have extra fly boxes, if you want, I'll send them to you.... you can fill them up then send them back! I'll promptly dispose of the evidence by selling the boxes as a fund raiser for Casting for Recovery-Missouri!! Win--Win! FliTrap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelie 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2011 Good Day, If I may make a suggestion with regard to your needing more hair... go here: http://whitetailflytieing.com/ He will hand pick exactly what you need. He is quite possibly one of the best minds on deer hair as well as supplier in the US, or anywhere for that matter. Not to mention he one damn good fly tyer too!

Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2011 I'll second Steelie's suggestion. Chris is the man when it comes to deer hair, and a heck of a nice guy to boot. Call him and he will be glad to talk to you about selecting deer hair. If you ever get a chance to see him tie at a show, do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
