Depends on hom much other stuff I have to do, if I have alot to do then it's a chore but if I have some time, a few beers and music then I am happy enough :)

At the moment I am pretty busy so I must admit to using bought rigs. Anyone in a similar situation to me should have a look at the new Greys range - they are excellent value for money :D

Even a bad days fishing is better than working.

Once I get into it I like it a lot, but it's just finding the right time to start it.
I normally tie enough for about three sessions when I do it.
I bought some new spoons the other day for tying flatty rigs so I have a session of tying on tonight possibly.

bit of both, when I am busy with work or family and time is short then its a chore otherwise its therapy, but If I have some free time and get a few beer then its highly relaxing, on the down side too much beer leads to some crazy rigs

I end up tying my own rigs from ones bought and experimenting.

I have bought some decent rigs from ones on ebay but I end replacing the hooks because they use crap ones all the time
