I started out tying before getting into flyfishing so if flyfishing were outlawed I would continue to tie.

I find tying to be a great way to release stress. I have found nothing that comes close to it in that respect. While I don't get to tie as often as I did in the past (I have 2 little ones that I gladly make time for, not to mention time for my wife), just thinking about it has a calming affect.
