SalarMan 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2020 flytire - You sure crank out some good looking flies. At the pace I tie it would take me a couple of years to tie the quantity you do. Question - Do you tie just one of each pattern or something like a 1/2 dozen or so for the fly box? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
