I might be wrong here, since I don't know the author very well. But to me this seemed to be about tying ON a fly (to the tippet). It doesn't matter if you have been tying for years and years and tie your flies perfectly, even though blindfolded and with one hand on your back. When the fish is rising in front of you and you have picked one out of the box... that simple little knot won't be as simple anymore.

That first attempt with my 2 hams was quite the experience, wondering what the heck I had gotten myself into. The flies still don't look a lot better, but it sure seems easier after tying 1000 or so over 4 years. -Jeff --- Niclas Runarsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "If you've got short, stubby fingers and wear > reading glasses, any > relaxation you would normally derive from fly > fishing is completely > eliminated when you try to tie on a fly." > (Jack Ohman, Fear of Fly Fishing, 1988) > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
