We fly tiers are resourceful bunch and will repurpose almost anything if it helps to tie a better fly. We’ve used pet hair for dubbing, stripped electrical wire for brassies and raided craft stores for supplies. Then we tie those materials using homemade bobbins, clean out the eyes with a sewing needle stuffed in a dowel rod and pick up the dubbing with a Popsicle stick with a patch of Velcro stuck on it. When we’re done place them in an Altoids fly box and head off to the stream. Fly tying is like the adult version of a Rube Goldberg project at times or reliving our youth as grown MacGyvers. Either way your friends and family don’t describe you as resource, but rather cheap, crazy and the person they’d choose to be lost in the woods with. Needless to say this list could balloon were I to incorporate it all, but I’ve focused the list to items you may be able to "borrow" from the office.

I know I'm going to catch heck for this, but my daughters cat keeps getting on my fly tying bench and always spill tied flies or hooks. So I throw him back in the room until he picks them back up. Of course I grab a little dubbing before I throw him back out.
