Bruntroot introductoin

Well, I've been on the forum for a couple of days now and thougt it was time for a bit of introduction, I like to fish mainly rivers for brown trout and grayling, I've been a member of the Derwent Angling Association for as many as years I care to remember, Axwell Park Angling (also the river Derwent)and I'm also a member of North West Durham Angling Association ( Waskerly and Smiddy Shaw). I love tying flies and I keep getting told by my wife that i have way to many.....so there's a question can you have to many flies.....???

welcome to the site if you have to many flies i will have some lol

Trouble is Potts 123 ...Dave86 keeps nicking them off me...!!

No

wewlcome to the forum,you can never have tomany flies

well done on today Rob....

Thanks Tony, see you at the final.

well bigtel , thats my slant on things you can never have to many.....but i did read once that you could pick half a dozen patterns for example a river and stick with all season and not look at anything else....

Welcome to the site Tony, I don't think you can ever have too many fly's but some come into use and go out again, then sit in the box for many moons before they see light again I have many A4 sized fly box's full of bought fly's for when i first started fly fishing, and many many more that I have made myself over the years some work some look pretty and might get a swim one day then again might spend a few months sometime stripping the hooks to use again

F.C
thats one thing I need to do, is strip a load of flies down again....I have an abortion jar on my tying desk full of "c##p" that either were aborted during tying or I've tied and just don't like them....I'll send them through and you could strip my if you gona be on doing yours for a while....
