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

[Mel Hocken]

Hi Jimmy I have been employed as a sheetmetal worker for the past 34 years. I have done mainly architectural sheetmetal during my career. In earlier years when cash was a little more scarce I tied flies and gave casting lessons to earn extra money to support my fishing habit. I have a great family, my wife Fran and two daughters Sabrina and Kimberly . Both girls are in college at this time so I may have to start tying flies if I want to buy any new rods or reels at this time. Regards Mel What do you do for a living?  Better put would be, how do you support your fly fishing habit. I know many of you on the lists and also know what kind of work you do. They’re all interesting.  With the numbers of us on these three lists, I daresay we cover most all occupations.  I think it would be interesting to all to see the varied occupations.   And Byard, Chris, and Bill, this is Fly Fishing related. LOL   You can answer this on list or off list, your choice.  But, please answer.  I’ll compile a composite like I did for our fishing vehicles.   Have A Great Day!   JIMMY  D
