If flyfishing were outlawed would you still tie?

All about flies Fly Tying
1

I started out tying before getting into flyfishing so if flyfishing were outlawed I would continue to tie.

I find tying to be a great way to release stress. I have found nothing that comes close to it in that respect. While I don’t get to tie as often as I did in the past (I have 2 little ones that I gladly make time for, not to mention time for my wife), just thinking about it has a calming affect.

Sure would, then I’d break that silly old law and fish anyway.

I WILL GIVE UP MY FLY RODS WHEN THEY PRY MY COLD DEAD FINGERS FROM AROUND IT!!!

ny angler,

I take it you’ll tie till you die. :twisted:

Tyrone,

If it ever comes to that, I’d not tie flies.

For something like that to occur would mean there would be some serious problems going on, and I figure I’d be too busy dealing with those to tie flies. Running a revolution would seriously impact my fishing time…

Once it were fixed, or I’d moved someplace less insane, I’d start tying again…

Good luck!

Wow! Buddy…that is deeply thoughtful :roll:

Not to worry we have guys out there now on the front lines making sure that doesn’t happen.

Anyway if it were outlawed I would just go back to dunking worms.

( don’t email me its a joke!)

If flyfishing were outlawed

I don’t care who you are that’s funny

I bet the fox hunters in the UK thought it was funny when they talked about outlawing fox hunting. It’s a done deal now.

Remain vigilant, wackos can influence policy.

I’ll gather up all the fisherpeople in MN and you can be the first to tell them they can’t fish.
Just let me get out of the line of fire first.

You bet I’d tie flies in the solitude of my under- ground bunker.

Since I wouldn’t be able to gain a sense of achievement from my own flies catching fish, I’d have to give realistics a try to at least get some sense of achievement.

If I don’t get the hang of that then I guess the only joy I’d get would be that of the smashing sound as my otherwise-useless vise flew through the car window of one of they who passed the law. Perhaps I could attach some string to the vise and play with different retrieves to see which ones make the most damage to the car upholstery.

I can see the reviews on flyfishing sites everywhere where vises are rated on overall weight, indestructability, and number of pointy bits to stick into leather.

Sorry - I think I lost the plot there a bit, but that’s what comes of putting such scary ideas into my head.

I sure would still tie, tying is half the fun. It gives me a little alone time from all the other stuff throughout the day.

15

I would tie flies with really big hooks, so that I could use them on the people that outlawed it.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Fly_Line, has it right! Minnesota’s “State Supreme Court” had a ruling that “Anglers and Hunters” had a basic Constitution Right to pursue their outdoor recreation! The Court also declared in their statement, that anyone who purposely and with malice, interferes with the aboves outdoor activity, is in violation of the law, and the State’s Constitution!

I’m a Life Member of PETA…People Eating Tasty Animals…and proud of it. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Oh, I like that a lot!
Matter of fact, I bet Thomas Jefferson would like it, too.

What materials would you use to tie up a carrot or broccoli imitation for the PETA crowd? or maybe a C-note imitation to go after the politicians? :lol:
