Yes, initially it is exciting to catch fish on flies that you tied yourself, but it doesn't take long before you only use flies that you have tied. At this point, ALL the fish you catch are on flies that you tied and it becomes a moot point.
Tying is enjoyable. You will, however, tie hundreds of flies of dozens of different patterns that will never see the water.
Eventually you'll realize that you use the same dozen or so patterns all of the time.
That's OK because the joy is in tying them.
Good luck and you should start making space somewhere to put all of the tying stuff that you will soon accumulate.
