I think it's neat that you have gotten this fly "bug", pardon the pun. Pretty soon, and I'd bet a floating rapala minnow on it, you're going to get into making your own flies and poppers. I have approached this opposite way. I learned to make dressed trebles and jig heads and a few flies for fun, but I have yet to try fly fishing. I'm afraid that I'm going to really like.
Wait until you see the spey rod anglers make a cast. It looks so cool.

Ha! That's what you say now...
 I only got into tying dressed trebles becuase my xrap tails were getting old. Then I discovered that there was something therapeutic about the whole process. I am not an artist by any stretch either and I wish I were.It will get to you when you want to have flies in this color or that color or a combination of colors that just aren't for sale. It is a gradual evolutionary step in fishing... Tackle making and that is another monkey.
