Which way are you heading as a fly tier?

Do you want to learn to tie more elaborate patterns, get better at 'harder' ties?

Do you enjoy challenging tying experiences?

Are you looking for easier or faster ways to get your flies tied?

Would a 'simple' version of a fly that produces for you be something that'd you would consider?

Do you believe that a fly that takes more time and/or skill to tie will catch more fish than a simpler fly?

Do you tie flies for the enjoyment or relaxation of it, or is fly tying just a necessary chore that you have to do in order to fish effectively?

Is the 'purpose' of your tying to fill your fly boxes?

Do you try to tie new and/or fun looking patterns or flies even though you are unlikely to ever fish with them?

Is fly tying an end in itself for you?

Do more intensive tying techniques intrigue you for thier own sake, or are you just looking for flies that will catch more fish?

Is it about tying the flies, or about fishing the flies? Both?

Just some things I've been pondering lately....

Thanks,

Buddy
