ladystrange Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 In Grade 8 we had an option to take fly tying. That was fun, what I remember. About 15 years later, I started to make flies all the time. 15 years of tying. It's a great hobby. Tight lines.... where did you go to school? who teaches fly tying as part of your home-ec/life skills classes. i had one semester of wood working, sewing, cooking and electronics. i would have rather done the fly tying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tie1on Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi ladystrange. There were lots of options to take. It was an option that you could take that was fun. It was once a week for 2 hours. This was many moons ago. Tight lines.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedy1 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 who teaches fly tying as part of your home-ec/life skills classes. We had fly tying as a group "b" option for grades 7-9 in Edmonton. Basically fun classses Wed afternoon, bowling, flying (yes as in airplane),archery, horsy riding, etc. These were classes the instructors either had experience in or were willing to teach. I took fly tying for two classes. I've been tying on and off for a total of maybe 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker1 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Total of 8. A few years in junior high, many years ago. Since I moved out West 10 years ago and discovered the gems ( bow, crow, etc. ) I have another 6 good years in. Great pastime in winter.

rhuseby Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 31 years. Started tying in the fall of the year I started flyrodding. I had already figured out that I couldn't afford to buy the flies at the rate I decorated trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydropsyche Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 About 4 years. I'm the type of guy who likes to try everything, only to drop it later. Not fly fishing and dressing. I never get sick of either. Good thing too. It saves me a lot of $ and my friends get flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawgstoppah Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Been tying for probably about 8 years now. Can't tie alone I find it too boring so I don't really tie a lot. I'm the kind of guy that needs to be chatting about fishing while tying, and at the end of the night look down and I got 2 - 3 dozen of something. Had a lot of fun tying some steelhead flies for the trip to BC this year though... while prodding toolman to hurry and and finish his work commitments.
