They don't have to be original ideas. Each of us may see something interesting on another site, or in a book or magazine. Why not share it? Many times others post a picture of something they tied, and I may either like the entire fly, or at least a certain aspect of it that might be useful in some other pattern. It will spur me to tie something I may not have tied before, or haven't tied in some time. I get to see what is working for others.
So...I post often. Probably too much. Some folks may get something from it. Many may not. Nobody is forced to click on my posts. :)
Share or don't. Your choice and mine.
