    Default How 'bout things you wish someone would have told you when you were starting out?

    My nymphs look so much better since I started making the thoraxes fatter - I think I noticed that, but just never paid attention to how to get there. Anyone else?

    Smartest question ever posted.
    Buy the best equipment/gear you can possibly afford so you aren't always wishing you had better equipment / materials. It does make a difference - especially in materials, and most especially in hackle.

    That fly fishing is all about tying knots, not catching fish.
