Would you like to donate some flies for a Reel Recovery Outing?

I know folks have asked about where they could donate flies here in the past. Here's an opportunity.

I am a volunteer River Buddy for a Reel Recovery Outing in October. If you don't know what Reel Recovery is, click the links. We are short some flies and I thought I would see if any of you would like to donate. The flies would be used for a Reel Recovery Outing in Arkansas on the White and/or Norfork rivers. Any flies not used there, would be passed along to future Reel Recovery outings around the country.

Most of our fishing this time of year is nymphs etc. There may be a little dry fly fishing with a few midge hatches. Flies needed are:
soft hackles
woolly buggers
scuds
sowbugs
midges
PT's/copper johns/hares ear and variations

This is a great charity and the flies would be used by some great guys in need of a break from their battle with cancer.

PM or email me if you are interested and I'll return the message with my mailing address. I would need them in my hands by October 18th.

Moderators: If this is unacceptable, please remove and let me know. Thanks!

I have registered here in Toronto to assist with Casting for Recovery, so I get it. And the more I tie, and the better my flies become, the more I can afford to cull lesser ones from my inventory - they are still good, just not my favourites any longer. Trout season here will be over in a week, so I am willing to send several. They will just be in a cardboard envelope however. PM me your address please.

I'll be glad to send some. Please pm me mailing instructions.

Thanks,
Greg

Yep me too Sir......A friend was laid to rest this morning .....she fought bone cancer until this past Sunday morning.
So if some flies will help anyone brave their days they have left,I will be needing your address as well.
Thank you for your doing what you are doing for them.

All, . . . If I counted correctly, 17 of you have volunteered . . . That is outstanding and I thank you all! I will let the participants and the Reel Recovery people know about the generosity of FAOL fly tiers! Thanks!

I'm in, let me know your address. Karen

Seems your Private message box is full. . . .

Cleared it out.

Pm sent . . . . . . . . . .

The flies are starting to come in. I have three packages so far and they are looking great! These fly will work! I'll get PM's out as they come in.

Well, the day is here. 18 People signed up to help and I got flies from 13 people but today's mail has not come yet. You should have received a PM if I got your flies. No PM means I have not seen them you. If flies arrive later, I'll forward them on to Reel Recovery for use in future retreats.

There is one envelope of flies that I can't correlate to a user name on here. Since you did put a return address on your envelope, you have a snail mail card coming.

I have somewhere around 300 flies. I'll count them out later tonight probably.

Thank you all very much! We can't thank you enough! FAOL came through with flying colors!

If I get some flies in late, I'll forward them on to Reel Recovery so if you don't have them out yet, send them anyways as they can still use them.

Thanks Again!
