[Cope]

[SBecker]

[dubthethorax]

sorry if i missed it, but what do we need to include on the toe tags?

 

[Fredrick]

I have 20 done so far i'm tying a zebra brassie

40 flies are done and should be in the mail this week.

I did this:

Matts Midge in sz 20 & 22s

WD-40 in 24 & 26s

No toe tags required, but if you would like to, just what materials you used for what part of the tie.

 

[SBecker]

Ant flies received.

well, knocked out the 2nd half of mine tonight, finally! I went with a size 18 zebra midge, copper ribbed, and with a hot orange tungsten bead. they look pretty nice. I'll have mine at the post office by Wed am. (swamped tomorrow with work)

 

[SBecker]

Frequent Tyer, Flies received.

 

[dubthethorax]

mine are in the envelope, just in need of postage.

If you don't want to be suprised, I posted pics of the ones I tied on my site

 

[SBecker]

Nice flies Dub, looking forward to receiving them.

 

[mrflyfish]

My flies are in the mail

 

[Fredrick]

Make sure you guys pay for the tracking so you don't end up with a copied note saying that they lost your stuff

 

[goodfortune]

I'll work to have mine finished up and in the mail by this Thursday.

 

[skiltonian]

yeah, still didn't get to the post office yet. this week, for sure.

David, received your flies. Also, your other flies you sent me were awesome, Thanks!

 

[David]

Thanks...hope you get good use out of them.

by the way, it is ok to reveal to everyone which one is your favorite and why!

 

[SBecker]

OK......The adams, because it is perfectly proportioned

 

[David]

Denial! It's ok to come out of the closet...I'll have one on my TV for the superbowl too!
Certainly better than a cheese fly!
