The entire organization just takes time, and that get's in short supply
when you take part in shows, swaps and teaching, oh and a job.
I feel that September 1, when I am retired I'll reorganize as well. I
started with plastic shoe boxes and a excel workbook. but I have 5
years of new additions. There are bar code readers out there, but most
of the materials are not in the data base that supports them.
Our first 2 months are going to be fishing in northern NH and Maine our
of a Winnebago. Then South and west for the winter and spring.

Hmmmh! I thought that had a storage/organization problem but Don O has an
even bigger problem after seeing his tying room.
Seriously, I am looking for idea's from the list. As a result of buying a
friends fly tying materials, I do have some duplication, but I need to organize
the whole lot to find the duplicates. One thing that I need to make is a stand
with dowels to hold my Norvise spools - probably 3 or 4 vertical dowels
attached to a base for the different thread sizes. I saw a rather nice one in a
pic somewhere but I don't know where. I will have to redo my Excel spreadsheet
as I forget to add new purchases and categorize them. I have somewhat
reluctantly decided to add the results of many fly swaps to my fly boxes and to
use the flies as I have too many boxes of swap flies. I will retain those
special ones that I would like to copy.
I am currently going through several hundred flies and sorting them into categories
such as leeches, cutthroat flies, steelhead inc tubes & waddingtons, trout
nymphs, dries, stoneflies etc. Some of them were ties years ago.
There has to be a better way than mine.

I too tie flies for the gamut of fishing, the the giant Fantasy Flies for sale,
and then a lot of show flies just for the fun of it. I HAD everything
organized, then I had to box it all up to move. I figure by next spring I
should have it sorted out and organized again.
Where's Buggs and Dr. D when I need their help?
