Clay,
Tying does pay......well sort of. I imagine we can look forward to two vises being posted in the "For Sale" BB.

Just looking off to my left at a stack of feathers and supplies in baggies and clear boxes. Someone, I think it was the salesman at my local shop, told me you could tie flies cheaper than buying them. What he neglected to mention was that it would take the rest of my life to break even.

But, I won't give it up!!! I enjoy it too much.

Can't agree more with quality vs. $$$. Bought some peacock herl cheap. Thought I was getting a steal, rarely use it because it breaks so often, lucky if I get two wraps out of it.
