Fly-tying is an awesome hobby but a lot depends on the fly-tyer’s ability to use inventiveness and imagination to increase his understanding and knowledge of fly-tying.
A large number of people only tie well-proven flies; others just tie what they need for a successful day’s fishing, while another group goes into the serious art of creating the most beautiful realistic imitations imaginable. Fly-tying has many facets to it, whether you just like collecting tools, vises, feathers, synthetics, silks or furs. For me it’s all part of our great hobby and we should respect each other’s skills and try to help one another as best we can. since my retirement I’ve conducted over 200 workshops or classes with kids worldwide and it only makes my hobby more amazing every day.
