Чистка - 2011 version
The time has come for the annual fly box housekeeping. So like Iosif Vissarionovich of old I gave a hard look to my little Grayling box. In total 180 dry flies and 20 nymphs were found ideologically wanting and were purged without mercy.

I recently did the same. Strange how last seasons flies were good enough to catch plenty fish but doesn't quite make it this year. :-)
ReplyDelete:-) I suppose it has to do with the irrational need to tie more, more and more flies - while the space in your fly boxes and vest is finite.
ReplyDeleteIt just does not do to face the river looking as the Michelin man.
