The Foxboro, Massachusetts Bass Pro Shop gets this week's award for the most inventive way to get folks interested in fly tying. Personally, I'd love to see a surgeon-controlled robot out-tie the experts, if only to feel a bit more confident during my next visit to an operating room. But I'm not so sure a robot can transfer the mojo necessary to make a fly great -- even if for $1.6 million you'd think it should be part of the deal.
