Help I'm now "hooked"

I know I know cheesy title.   Anyways I finally landed my first 4 fish yesterday on flies I tied myself. I've hooked them on flies before but couldn't land them.  It was a lot more rewarding when I landed them on my own tied flies. I just spent about 50 bucks in material today because of it. I am also trying to tie different things. I had a couple wooley buggers come out pretty descent and some clouser minnows that turned out pretty good. Now for my question......

Am I going to spend all of my paychecks on this new found obsession?

Youtube is a great great tool for beginners!!!!

    YES! YOU WILL!

    Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    It starts out simple...........then it will consume you and your pocket book...........my fly tying desk (found at a thrift shop !!!!)  is loaded to the hilt with every conceivable color in the world..............open one drawer.......then open another........it is like going into another world..........not sure how much I have...but it keeps me happy........and the wife doesn't mind..........

    ..........the desk I found cost me 25 bucks..........big desk..........5 nice drawers..........plus a center drawer.........and then on the left and right.........right above the top drawers are two slide out platforms........great for the fly tying station to rest on...............and if a friend is over or I am teaching someone....they can use the other platform..........what luck I had in finding that desk

    it truly never ends...............:-)

    It started for me when my wife bought me a kit for Christmas. I tied a few, loved it, and proceeded to tell her " I need this and I need that" LOL. She told me I should have what I need in the kit. So I let her have a try at it. Next thing I know, she's telling me "we need this and we need that". Our checkbook hasn't been the same since.

    I don't give a crap if anybody listens to me or not.
