I just started fly fishing three years ago with the intention of not becoming a fly tier. Well about a month ago I decided to just give it a little try and found out I really like it. Like it so much it may become another happy addiction. YIPEE

welcome to the BB, unlike some other addictions, this one will leave you satisfied when you come down, BUT of course WANTING MORE....
As in the Army, I have never had a bad day Fly fishing, some damn uncomfortable days but never a bad one!
Everyone must believe in something and I believe in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying and believe I will

cycler68,
Take it slow and try not to think about the thousands of patterns you will have to spend the rest of your life buying materials for. Just kidding! You will be glad you started tying flies when you catch your first fish on one!

Welcome aboard, we are basicly a friendly group here. Just don't pay any attention to Dougie or Paul (flybinder) as they will lead you astray for sure!!
Fly tying is an addiction and one you find a lot of enjoyment with. No better way to relax after a hard day.
The "Dark Side" is rod building!! Never, never, go there!!
Then there is furling your own leaders a very civilized pastime akin to fly tying!
Tight lines!
Listen to Jack H, but I am not sure about the Rod building thing, very deep stuff there, you may want to desensitize yourself before jumping into that pool....

Hi! My name if Joe, and I'm a NBOF. I am finally beyond the denial stage of my condition. I have to learn to accept myself for what they tell me I am. Paul and Doug are my herons. They are gods. Just ask them.

They just don't tell the truth sometimes. Jax
