Thanks,
A lot of the stuff I tie just comes from poking around on the interweb. Instagram is a real good source for patterns; lots of very good tyers pose their work there. I’ve also found international sites to be a source of interesting flies; stuff we may not have seen before in the States. The UK Flyfishing forum is a great place to check out; lots and lots of tyers of all skill levels posting their work (kinda like this site used to be).
I’ll never be able to fish all the stuff I tie either, but since I usually only tie one of anything, I can fish a number of patterns in a day, just to see what works and what doesn’t.
Regards,
Scott
