He must have sold a boatload of books because that tying revenue wouldn't go
very far. Even if he got paid a buck a fly, there would be loads of overhead.

Well, when the book was written, it said that he was putting THREE daughters
through college by tying that many flies, so i guess it mattered to them LOL,

Jimmy,
I tied commercially - in the lng ago past- for a short time. Very Major
YUK!
For a professional tier, tying time is only a portion of the time invested. It
depends on how efficient you are, how well planned your set-up time is, your
tying facilities, etc. If you can be efficient
save me somma what you drinkin'.

Don and all, who answered,
thanks a lot for all suggestions.
Why do I try to hackle with hair. Well, Iain was asking for a fly which
uses deer hair. And therefore I thought, best will be to use as much
hair as possible in the construction of the fly. I refused from spinning
a body
Well, I found
Hoy Matk:
Don't get jealous that he is an expert. Anyone who ties that many flies
must be goodor extremely bored, or living in Nigeria.
How about we get one of those Nigerians who tie 10,000 flies a year to
writ a book...or to atleast offer to share with us a US$72 billion
inheritance
funny how production tyers always wanna boast bout how many flies they tye a
year...wass up with that??? does anybody really
care...? lmaothass like some guy on an assembly
line talkin' bout how many tires he makes a
year...lmao.
The average work year for a person is 2080 hours. So he is a part time
worker ;>)

But if we become TRUE purists, we would eat the fish. This C&R stuff
is a 'recent' concept as far as the sport of angling is concerned.

tying average speed of 2 minutes per fly, that translates into 2 X
36,000 = 72,000 minutes % 60 minutes / hr = 1,200 hours at the bench.

someone may learn something.
Ron Reinhold would sell them whenever he had a certain number put aside. And he
