Fly Tying Inventory Software

[Billy Harris]

Does anyone know of any software that can help me manage my tying materials.

[Mark Schafer]

I have seen some customers with pretty sophisticated  spread sheets but have never heard of anything directed at fly tying. one guy that I remember listed the flies he tied when you clicked on the cell the materials where listed, and his materials work sheet gave alternate  materials when you clicked on the cell.

If anyone knows a bit vb.net we can write some software for this 🙂

I’ve started a fishing log program sometime ago but could not keep focus on this project.

my FFF club had a member to pass away, his widow had a couple of members to get his goods together and sell them at silent auction, it got me to thinking about my stuff.

I am orginized but am real organized now. I got all my stuff together and put it in bags.

I have my materials on a Word document. I been tying 25 years and am a materials junkie, It’s 25+ pages long. ;D

One of the best things about my fly tying crap is delving in and finding out what’;s in there,. I’d hate having a computer

You can judge a man by the size of things which annoy him.

I agree Clark, I used to use it and it didn’t help me, except with hooks Why the hell I have no Black Magic F16 and F14 I’ll never know ;D

Go the messy tying room, Muzz Wilson taught me well :-/

I use a physical filing cabinet, and can’t imagine having enough tying stuff to need a computer program to track it.

I use a physical filing cabinet, and can’t imagine having enough tying stuff to need a computer program to track it.  That said, you could probably download a Wikimedia free package and put it on a local computer set up to run an internal website (Macs and PCs can both do this; for PCs you just have to run a program called Apache first to give it a web kernel to run in).  Then you could build your own cross-linked Wiki of your stuff, organized by keywords.  I think it’d be more elegant than a spreadsheet and it could grow organically over time.

😕 If only I had a filing cabinet full… Maybe I’ll down size one day :-/

The real problem for me is keeping track of “how much” individual stock I have.
