I'm relatively old, but l did tie for years. I had such a huge surplus of flies and a very demanding work schedule, l had stopped tying. Also after a number of moves my time had become limited for tying and fishing as well. But having the knowledge that l do have, l realized that with proper research on the web, you can purchase excellent ties for less than you could tie them yourself. Tying is an art form backed by research. We always carried specimen jars to take samples back to the tying table. All of that being said !! If you know what you're looking for, you can buy it. But... In the end, it does come down to years of observation on the stream and knowing the hatches and other inhabitants that trout feed on.
It's a fun road and it's what you make of it.
