Re: [VFB] How do you support your fly fishing habit?

[GGFlyTyer]

Hi to all,
  I'm more of a "handyman", not a contractor, painter, plumber, electrician or anything like that. Just a plain-ole Mr. Fix-it Handyman. I do all those things-plus, but with limited ability. I was a licensed crane-operator until 1994 when I was involved in an accident which left me doing what I do best,,,handyman/fly-tyer. When I find time to fish I do that too. I try to make my own hours, but the bills have to be paid too so I end up being the handyman 99.9% of the time. Lately I've been finding more time to tie flies, mostly instead of watching TV. (which lately isn't that great to watch anyway). That does it for me.
  Other facts about me,,,, I'm married (it'll be 30 years this August) I have a son 26 years old (NYPD) and a daughter 21 years old (studying to be a CPA). We (my wife and I) also have 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 ferrets. ( so there's never a shortage of tying furs here) We love to camp, just bought a popup camper after 28 years of tenting with air mattresses and are always looking for new places to camp.
  That just about covers everything you would need to know about me and my family. Oh yeah,,,, one more thing,,, they hate to eat fish,, so everything I catch is released. If they could figure out a way to hunt and release I would do that too :)
That's it for me.
Great to be back tying
