Or stop tying, but that's not going to happen. I still have dry flies I tied for hatches back East that we don't have out here and are 30+ years old. I have about a thousand assorted Globugs from my days chasing Lake Ontario browns and steelhead. Just don't have the heart to throw flies away. Many hold memories of blizzard hatches on the Beaverkill or Delaware Rivers.
Guess I could fish more so lost flies on trees, snags, and, yes, big fish will thin things out. But then, again, I'll just tie more. Would love to hear how you folks organize huge, diverse fly collections.
