Where do yours’ go? I have plastic bins of IDK patterns.  I Don’t Know what they were suppose to be. Often I tied with improvisation, trying to not so much match anything as create something interesting, and to me enticing to the trout. Not a good process. Better to match something then improvise and then keep it in the ballpark of reality. Yet, hundreds of flies fill plastic bins. Flies that rarely saw water, immediately rejected at the vise or removed from a box after dozens of mental rejections on the water. Sometimes, I find a few like these that actually seem OK rather than IDK……….
