As a follow up to the 'how many' thread...

How many of you that do tie flies in multiples of more than say two or three take the time to prepare and/or lay out all or any of your materials BEFORE you begin tying...

AND, if you do, how much of it do you do 'ahead'...

Do you pre-prep your hackles, prestack your tailing, etc...

Do you lay out hooks, or just pick them from the box?

Also, how many of you have flies that you tie that require you to do it in 'steps' i.e; you do one or more operations on each hook for however many of that pattern you intend to tie, for whatever reason, then go back and do another operations on each fly, etc...?

Just curious about 'how' we all go about this addiction....
