airedale 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 I hope I have enough options. Some of you probably have way more. Oh, and if you own a fly shop, don't include all the flies in your shop. Just your personal collection. I have about 294 flies. Might have miscounted. Now that I look at that number, I feel like I might have a bit of a small collection actually.

flykid 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I took a guess at having about 1,500. I'm not really sure but I know I have a rediculous amount of flies and I really need to get out fishing more often cause most of them are not being put to use. I wasn't really blessed with much good close water, but I now have a driver's liscense! and hopefully will be getting out more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deflyguy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I have about 400 or so "fishable" flies and then ~100 that I use as models or display. Many of the later are tied by well respected tiers or friends and I don't want them at the bottom of a river Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tye2fly 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 probably around 1000 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
searsportshuffle 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I gave away about 150 to my brother and have a shade under 500 for myself. Now that my boxes are full I would like to tie stuff for my Dad and friends and any replacements I may need due to loss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spinner 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I did a count last night and I had 628 flies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flykid 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I counted this morning and counted roughly 1200. So I was off a little on my guess but I'm sure it won't take long to get up to 1500. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rp3flyfisher 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I have in the area of 40,000. I guided for a while and I have 3-4 fly Boxes for each other species I go after. I am a bit anal when it comes to flies. I went Redfish fishing in December for the first time and tied up around 200 flies for that trip alone. I would say I have 25,000+ for trout alone!!!
