Haven't most of us sold a fly or two? I'd say so.
Actually, I never have. I've tied many flies for people, but I've never sold them to them.
I tye flies for "FUN" relaxation, to be creative, and simply because it's hugely theraputic.
Me too
When i'm on a roll and have everything set out and prepared in advance, i can knock off a dozen flies and hour, doing a standard trout fly.
Well, same here, except I get very bored after about four of the same fly.
That's one reason I've been getting into swaps - to force myself to tie more than one or two of a fly to see if I can get into a proper frame of mind to tie 'commercially'. And after nearly 25 years of trying to get into that proper frame, I don't think I ever will.
Of course, all of you who get my flies in the swaps can tell that I'm not very good at repetitive tying.
