I have had lots of free time spent at home lately(due to no work for me at the moment), and I have been trying to keep my hands busy. Now I have not ventured into fly tying yet but my wife just bought me a starter kit from bass pro for my birthday. Have yet to open it up yet and I just have a quick question for you tying vets.
I am curious if you get more bang for your buck when you tie. I have always just bought my flies and it usually runs me about $1.00 per fly (depending on the fly of course).
For example.. if i were to buy $30 worth of material for hares ear nymphs.. would I be able to tie 30 nymphs with those mats? Hares ears run about 99 cents here at my local fly shop.
