I do the same thing. I take a lot of people fishing and usually wind up giving away any spare flies in my box. Keeps supplies "low." Love to tie... Love to fish what I tie... especially when I get lucky and ketch one! Having a box full of flies is a good problem!

Fishing Fool Loc: redding, ca

I have dozens of flies but try and match the hatch for wet and dry.

Like with guns, if you know how many flies you have you don't have enough...

EastTN MTS,

Where in eastern Tennessee are you, I'm visiting Bristol TN the 21st thru Dec. 4, and have yet to meet anyone who fly fishes in the area, perhaps we can meet up?

I live about 50 miles north of Bristol, at Sugar Grove, Va. I'm retired from US Forest Service and would be happy to put you on some good streams, some catch and release, some with pretty strict size limits and some put-and-catch where you can fill a creel with hatchery trout (but god knows why--they taste like Styrofoam). If you have a map or look on the internet for: South Fork of the Holston (just south of Sugar Grove); Green Cove Creek (near Konnarock); South Fork of the Holston above and below Buller dam at the Buller fish hatchery; and so on. My email is robertmckinney811@gmail.com. There are also some gigantic rainbows, I am told, in the Holston down below South Holston Lake.

thank you so much Robert, i usually drive down to Cherokee NC where we used to camp during the summers, way over crowded today. But the streams are the same with the trout being mostly stockers nowadays, not what is was like in the 50's but I enjoy. Met the family that's been running the camp grounds we used to stay in, they want let me me pay when I'm there so i usually take them out to a nice dinner. My email is bill@rbeeng.com should you see something come in in the next day or two as I'm sure I'll be writing to you, till then thank you.
