fly time 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 I spend between 30to50 hrs. a week tying, Wow I need to get out more or I just have the same sickness that we most all on this site share, but it keeps me out of trouble, and its relaxing to me, most of the time. When ever im not doing something else im tying and I love it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Kimball 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 Couple hours in the evenings so 10-15 a week. I got suckered into a few orders though so I'm gonna have to start kicking it up on the weekends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted February 24, 2006 15 to 20 but it could be more or less by a couple of hours. This amount of time equals 3 or 4 Atlantic salmon flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJD 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2006 I usually tie a couple of houres a day after work to unwind. +1 I usually try to keep my SW stock up...unless I'm tying specific requests from a few guide friends, I usually tie for 5-8 hours. Weekends vary - it could be another 5-8 or 0 depending upon family "events" (3 kids!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues Brother 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2006 Lately, with school and tennis practice becoming more and more intense, I haven't been able to tie any during the week. My tying has been limited to just a couple of hours on the weekends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burninbriar 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2006 Thats a tough question for me. When I'm into tying I stay at it pretty steady, but when I'm done it might be several weeks or more before I get back to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I'm into tying I stay at it pretty steady, but when I'm done it might be several weeks or more before I get back to it. I'm the same way. Some weeks I spend more time buying materials than tying . I'm sure I'm the only one, too, right? :dunno: Terry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2006 I tie when I have the urge to tie or when swap flies need to get done but I dont let tying get in the way of other things I want to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
