caughtonlures*com 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2005 I was thing about something today while at the bench. What gets you going in creative mode? For me it is listening to the hardcore rock of Eminem and Kid Rock. Since working for the cable company has brought the benefit of free cable to my detached fly tying room in the garage, I also am blessed with full cable benefits as well. Do you watch television while tying? Listen to the radio, or do you just meditate in a pattern book at the bench? Also, what are your favorite programs while tying or what type of music gets the creative juices flowing? Just curious. Nicholas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2005 Looking at a photo of an insect that fish eat gets me fired up. I print the pic in color, set it close to my vise and just start trying to copy it. I usually like it quiet when I'm tying because I find this time very relaxing. I'm lucky I don't get grief from the old lady when tying evenings. But if there's things that need working on around the house I know better than to spend a full weekend day tying. I like to listen to Metalica, real loud, and do that when I'm driving, or I'll wake up my son, and get a ration of s%&@. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparkleminnow 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2005 I listen to talk radio on my computer, and have a few beers. I haven't done that for a while. I may need to do that again to come up with a few new patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
