Back from a chilly walk.
I tied flies for over 40 years. I still have over 2,000 that I never or don't use. Last year I didn't use a fly rod once. Son In Law is a spin fisherman so I went along. That won't happen this year. I will still use a spinning rod at the local reservoir but It is my boat and we are going to the mountains for trout. The heII with bass and walleye.
This is what I am talking about......caught on an ultra lite fly rod using 3 lb test line. Picture of the fly I caught it on nest to a dime.

NEVER
Even though he has a bloody lip he is alive and well.....next year when I give him another tooth ache he will be bigger and more fun to catch.
Pute look at my flies and tell me what you think. I have never been fly fishing but it does look like a lot of fun and maybe one day I’ll get the chance. I got these from an estate sale just because I thought they were cool. Is there anything special about these? I just thought they were tiny and amazing looking and a very artful thing to make with your hands.

I use the one in the upper left often. It is a Caddis. They look like miller moths when flying.

ever salt water fish?
No not at all only one looks like it has wings
If you could use them, I’d love to gift them to you. I will never use them. Today is the first time I’ve even looked at them in a couple years…

Thank you but no. Just like marijuana I only smoke my own and I only use flies that I have tied. You never know you might want to try them on pan fish where you live. Bluegill would go after them.
@joe, Colorado is to far from the ocean to salt water fish.
Salt water? I thought fly fishing was a fresh water thing. Are trout salt water?
edit ok duh I just saw that answer was for Joe
