I tie occasionally. Mostly in the spring when I need a special Dahlberg pompano fly that I can't buy anywhere. I pretty much hung it up when I had kids, but they're getting a little older now (4 & 2), so I'll be back to it soon.

Just bought a tfo rod and orvis reel, I use to own an archery shop so I am pretty good at tieing stuff, if it is worth doing i will probably do it. I wish I had not got into this salt water stuff, it has ruined my bass fishing, and my family is mad because I want to move to Florida.

I took about a hundred of my first creations this past weekend and put em in a jar and poured some acetone in it so as to salvage the hooks and eyes..amazing how awful those first ones are starting to look..I usually tie a few during the week..got a little homemade desk I can use from my recliner ....Spent a lot of time this past year trying to improve my skills..

I don't tie flies but the drinking Chalk's liquor would be worth the drive.
