Do you think its possible to have too many flies? If so how many is too many?
I dont think I have an excessive amount of flies but I the more I have the longer I seem to spend choosing which one to use next. Anyone else seem to do this?

The best possible thing to do, is to only keep your top 10 or 12 "go to" flies and throw out the rest :z16

Then, as soon as you've done this, you can start collecting all over again! :z4  :z4  :z4

the next best thing to fishing is buying lots of crap for it even when you dont need it.

Adam,
It's impossible to have too many flies, the problem arises when you take them all with you when you go fishing.
