Name tags for flies
Met a guy new to FF on the Rio Grande in S. CO. this summer. He had bought flies somewhere in TX. (Bass Pro Shop?), each of which had a little paper I.D. tag attached.
He was so concerned about learning the names of flies that he carefully reattached the little name tag when he returned the fly to the box after fishing it.
Anybody else seen tagged flies?
Makes a lot of sense to me as I was overwhlemed as a beginner trying to remember the correct names. Since then I have met many fly fishers on the stream who, upon seeking my advice as to a fly, have admitted they had no idea if they had such a fly in their boxes.

No man can have too many fly rods;
no woman too many shoes.
