Ziggy, the tying bug has truly bitten. :shk
Two of your boxes = 5 of mine :blush:
Keep on tying , I now only tie when I realize I only have 6 flies left in my box. w;k
I swim in the river often, and flies not used rust and then let you down when you least need it to happen. :unhap

Now for the truth...
you may have many flies, but it is seldom that you have the "right" fly!

Dodger - I am still new at tying - but have tied about maybe 100 flies so far - I have learnt a lot on youtube - especially from a guy called Davie McPhail - see some of his tuts here Tying a Catskill style Dry Fly with Davie McPhail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C18aAaRvyvk&list=PLC79110041C905DB5#)
I have also been through Tom Sutcliffe's book "The elements of fly tying" as well as a number of other books

of all those flies - I have tied maybe about 100 or so. The rest is what I have been collecting over the years (some are over 20 years old0 - but no rust. I also wade the rivers, but manage to keep flies dry somehow

thats why you must carry as many as possible?

Nice!! This is good inspiration to get tying, all my boxes are seriously depleted! :blush:

Ziggy, Herman doesn't wade between fishing spots on the river, he perfected the "downstream immersion drift relocation technique". :craz: Its pretty neat in summer, but definately not a system to apply in winter! :rotfl

I dont know the "Vaal Shuffle" - but I certainly am familiar with the "Umzimkulu Tumble"

Looks like you've covered the whole spectrum there.
Now you need to triple that amount with different colors and smaller sizes.

Do you have a pulse? do you have the urge to buy more? if the answer to either of these is yes then the answer is no.... there is a confession list on the Tackle addiction thread.. feel free to post on your problem there..... :hnthnt:
