petelangevin 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 I am forever scanning the loading dock at work for possible tying material before it ends up in the dumpster. All sorts of semi rigid foam for poppers and thin foam for other uses. Never mind the black mesh tubes that protect the fiber optic cables we use. They make great sand eel flies. And i get free tube fly tubesfrom damaged fiber optic drop wires. Just takes a little effort. Its a sickness if you ask my wife. To me its recycling!!

Margaretann 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 This is not mine.... You know you tie to much when an older man asks most of the people he meets if they have little girls so he can ask for their old flip flops to make popper bodies. When you go halvsies with your best friend just so you can get all the different types of materials you want. When 80% or the whole of at least one of your pay checks is devoted to buying hooks or materials. When everyone in your cell phone knows not to call you at certain times if the day cause you are busy tyin and you will not answer your phone. When you have a special playlist on your iTunes just for tying. And when you have more tying material than you have clothes, shoes, or makeup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 When security at the dollar tree starts following you because you've been in there so long combing the shelves for cheap stuff to tie with. You mean you don't go in with your waistcoat and waders on just to give them that safe knowledge you're not theiving? I did walk around a shop for an hour getting funny looks and smiles and only when I got home realised I had 3 huge salmon flies still stuck in my baseball cap.

Toirtis 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 When you visit the rubbermaid/sterilite section of shops to find that 'perfect material storage container'. When you have 5 GB+ of photos stored on your computer...not of porn, or vehicles, but of flies, vises and tying benches. When, whilst visiting the zoo or wildlife park, get a sore neck from constantly scanning for errant bits of fur/feathers from the residents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
