I use to fish a lot in the winter, but recently have let the fish 
alone, and spend the time enjoying my family and tying flies.  I try to 
tie a dozen flies  a day, which doesn't sound like much, but works out 
to over 300 a month and  well over a thousand by the time fishing 
starts.  Then in the summer I don't have to tie unless I want to 
experiment with a new fly.  I like fly tying, but not when it cuts into 
fishing time.

I'll tie a lot of wooly buggers in various sizes and colors, damsel fly 
nymphs, BHPTs, BHHEs, RS-2s, scuds, parachute, comparadun, hairwing and 
minimal
mayflies, Renegades, Elk hair caddis, stimulators, foam hoppers and 
stoneflies, etc. I'll tie 20 of one pattern then switch to another to 
fight boredom.

I tie some flies.  I have a new rod to wrap this year.

This is usually when I do alot of my crocheting also.

This is also when I run my 4 swaps at a time madness.
