I am just like you. I have flies from swaps that I will never fish. Flies from Al Campbell, Donald Nicolson, REE just to name a few. I consider these flies as treasures. When I get one of these flies in a swap, they go in a special drawer in my fly storage cabinet until I can get the properly displayed.
I also fish flies from swaps and if they work on my home waters, I will use them as patterns and tie up a few.
