I do both, but since I have a found a company called the Benton Fly Box on line, my tying days may be over. The flies are tied in Maine, and you can't beat the quality, just thought I would pass it on, and I have no interest in the company other than buying from them.

Tying your own fly's is a great way to maintain your fishing interest even if there's a blizzard blowing out your door.

I have never used a fly I didn't tie myself. I started fly fishing a year ago... man have I been missing out on a lot of fun all my life!!!

It's not letting me send you an invite, you probably need to have a minimum of a magical number of posts. I'm not sure how many, but keep posting and I'll keep trying! :2:

I remember reading something about that when I joined... I think it is 16 or 20, something to that affect. I will hit the magic number whatever it may be before the end of the day. I have my fly vice set up beside the computer, helps take the edge off the winter months while I wait for the trout run to commence.

I love tying more than fishing I think. Usually tie flies all through the winter months and then end up giving most of them away to friends.

These days I tie the grater majority of the flies I use. I still buy some of the really small trout flies, their a bit nerve racking to tie. I have to admit, when I stop at a fly shop, I'll always find a few flies to purchase. The fact is, if I never tied or purchased a fly again, I'm set for life.
