David Parker 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 What really bugs me is when I have spent numerous hours of tying enjoyment learning to properly tie a new pattern, only to lose it to a tree branch on my first cast because I was too excited to fish it and failed to watch my back cast.

Or deciding to change flies, taking care to tie to 7x tippet with a chill affecting finger dexterity, sliding into a perfect angle to cast at potential holding spot along the bank, then delivering a perfect roll cast into the overhanging branch...with spin casters watching. Oooh that bugs me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xvigauge 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 If I ever forget to tie something in, I just find an alternate way to add it. It is amazing what you can come up with when you have to. Sometimes (many times) it does not look all that great, but for some reason, the fish never notice. To quote the PBS artist, the late Bob Ross, "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents."

Wow, a two-fer...I'm on FIRE! :-D Right there with ya, Mike. Nothing makes the experience of learning a new thing bittersweet like realizing you should have learned it years ago. I guess that's--marginally-- better than never figuring it out at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyty1 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 I get pretty ticked off at items marketed to fly tyers with ridiculous price markups. There are certain things I refuse to use because I know the mataerial in the package is worth less than the packaging itself and the asking price is superelevated just because it is for fly tyers.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 Trying to stack deer hair (like Powershooter and I did today) and having the hair spin on the hook anyway. I do like that Fugly packer he's got ... but I still can't get the deer hair to stay where I want it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
