I am a pretty good judge of what new flies are going to be killer. Usually they are sort of VARIATIONS on flies that already work.
Problem I have, I tie usually for my Hubby and myself. If I know my Brother in-law will be join us, I tie for him as well.
But for just my hubby and myself, ON NEW PATTERNS, I think just tie one of each to find out, but then I think....the fish are going to love it and better have a back-up. SO, I tie at least four...and these are flies that have not proven them self yet. Then to top it off....different colors!
Long trips, I do pack my tying supplies, but on short trips, I don't want to be spending valuable time TYING!!!
How many of a new pattern do you tie for an outing?
