If you have tied more than a few flies in your life then you know that there isn’t anything secret here…it’s a pretty simple fly with simple materials…this ain’t rocket science…do your homework instead of complaining that it’s not force fed to you…this is how you learn…

Great fly and beautiful tying technique. I’ve bought your book and I love it. Thanks for all that you are teaching me. Greetings from Italy.

There was one famous French architect too. Who does stand out. In my memory. As someone who literally constructed his own factory. To produce housing. Like automobiles were being produced in America (it really was the time, of the aesthetic of the machine, as some European designers called this). I.e. Going away from 'decoration'. The French architect though. With dreams of mass production. Lost financial control. Over his factory business. In no time at all. There was 'one' single home that was produced from the factory (a factory designed to mass produce houses). And that was the architect's own house. Which is now a twentieth century museum piece or classic (like a 'concept' automobile, only one of which exists). These are 'unicorn' status things. For automobile collectors. And similarly I guess with houses. The material for this one 'mass produced' house. Were smuggled out of the factory. In cover of darkness. With the help of some workers. Who had felt sorry for it's designer.

In fishing you see it all the time. All of the good ideas. Have to be sold as intellectual property. To the companies. In order so that the anglers. Can cash in, on those ideas. In some way. To get a pay cheque. So when I look at construction. And I look at fishing. I see the same patterns in both. The upcoming workshop seminar. At Anchored Outdoors. Should be an enjoyable virtual event. I'll check it out when I can get around to it (got the flyer for the event recently).
