Prince Nymph

You know, if you're trying to be efficient, just, you know, my answer to that would be, you know, have your materials prepped.

And the thing with that is, you know, from a commercial tying standpoint, like if I sit down and I am going to tie, you know, Prince Nymphs or Copper Jones or whatever, and I pre-cut all the wire and I set out all my biots and I cut all my thin skin and I set everything out, Um, that time counts also that, that wasn't, you know, I'm not tying a fly at that moment, but that's still time.

That's one, you're on the clock.

That's one evening that you're doing that.

Everything works sometimes, I guess.

But, um- But when you said, said that, Beav, about like kinda going back in the, in time, so to your point, like I was talking to Dave the other day, he was talking about like going back, throwing on like Prince Nymphs and stuff, and I thought that was a good idea 'cause when I was learning how to fly fish, you know, couple years after Pono Me got started, but hitting a lot more stocked waters and stuff, dude, Prince Nymph was one of the first flies I'd throw on for trout, and I don't fish them ever anymore.

And so it's one of those things where I took what you were saying, Beav, as like cyclical in the sense of even the f- fly rotation for us, our own fly boxes, you get into this pattern of we have a short-term memory where it's like, "Oh man, this was amazing this day," so then you tie up f- 20 of those and you f- get really dialed in, and then all of a sudden that turns into 5 or 10 patterns, and those original 5 or 10 patterns start to slowly get pushed out of the box and you don't even realize it.

Interesting.

So when Dave brought up Prince Nymphs, I'm like, "Oh my God, yeah, we should be fishing more Prince Nymphs for steelhead."

Well, you know who's been doing that the whole time? My dad.

I already knew that answer.
