Aaron asked:
how does one go about finding a fly tying job? >
Start small, by going to local fly shops and sporting goods stores to see if
there's some interest there. If you live near fishing waters, check the
local "Mom and Pop" grocery store, where fishermen stop to pick up what they
forgot to bring on their trip...they might carry a few flies. Guides and
Resort stores are also possibilities. Try to develop private customers as
well as shops. In my experience, putting flies on consignment is a BAD
idea.
As for the "living" you can make tying flies, it's best to talk yourself
into being satisfied with a rather meager life-style! ;o)
