We have rods that fit diffrent circumstances and allow us to fish despite limiting physical difficulties.
As to fly tying, only God knows how much we have invested in that portion of the sport. I do know that we could outfit a small fly shop very well and still have stuff for ourselves. We are well past the point of need, and work solely on want.
With the exception of FAOLer's, only a couple of our friends have tried fly fishing. They, despite our instruction and encouragement, decided it was a sport fit only for those completely mad.
Fly fishing and tying is what we do together for fun.
VEE has many other interests, mostly art related, mine is wood working and singing with a drum group. Fly fishing brings us together.
