Sounds like some great reading ahead for you!
Great when you hit the jackpot, isn't it! I have hit three tackle shop closeouts in my life (over a 15 year period)- probably have spent $700 plus combined at them, mostly for flytying materials, but also jig molds, hooks, spinner bodies, etc. But have made out like a bandit at each of them, have gotten most stuff at 50-60% off.
Tradgedy was that I missed one two years ago that had the best hackles :( They had already sold out in two days.
Have also done well at garage sales too. Spent $110 dollars one summer for $500 in fishing equipment (mostly spinning tackle, but some fly fishing stuff in there. Example: old shakespeare flyrod and real combo for $5, good working order. Whole skeins of yarn for ten cents a piece. Five three hook floating rapalas for $1 each, crazy stuff like that.)

Then he said take any old magazines you want for free.
I said hold out your arms to my husband. I have about 4 years
of old Fly Tyer Mags 82-86. I like the articles much better.
Much more information in the old mags, IMHO.
