3. Select a fly and tie up all the variations on that fly that you can find or imagine. e.g. Royal Coachman: Hairwing, fan wing, royal stimulator, coachman nymph, Coachman streamer, matuka coachman, para coachman, the list goes on.
4. Make a shadow box presentation as a gift.
5. Give all your tying tools and supplies to a school fly fishing club. Better yet, find a school fly fishing club and volunteer your time to help instruct novice fly tyers.
6. Learn to crochet.
Numbers 3 and 5 are good ideas. I'll look into those. Thanx.
Fly swaps just don't do it for me.
No use/desire to tie salmon flies (although I think they are beautiful).
#6 Who says I don't already do it, and do it well?
