A very nice Christmas present

My new Brother-in-law gave me his deceased father's fly tying materials. Very nice of him to do so.

Very nice. I hope someone will enjoy my stuff when I die.

Very nice. You have to tie some flies now.

That is awesome and organized too. You probably want to be sure to keep that brother in law in the family.

And are you a tyer, (yet)? You're in the right place to learn if you're not.

I hope when I go, my wife doesn't sell my fly gear for what I told her I paid for it...

That's a great gift.
I inherited a good friend's collection some years ago. What I didn't need I used to put together a kit for someone starting out. What I did find though was that using someone else's tools is a weird experience. I end up doing this from time to time, and never find it a pleasant experience.
Cheers,
A.

I can imagine that he is extremely happy knowing that somebody who appreciates it will be putting it to good use.
