:=))
Makes me smile.
I have too many flies too.
Trouble is I'm always out of the good ones.
I'm in. Thank you. Do you want postage first or after the flies are shipped?
before hand
Bugman,
You may want to send some to the Quiet Waters program. I just shipped out about 100 turkey feathers for their tying program. I am sure they could send these guys home with a few extra flies. You might have to pick up the postage but I think they could put them to good use.
If you want the address send me a PM and I will get it to you.
This is the reply on my post that put me on to them. The Quiet Waters (wounded warriors) project holds fly tying classes all summer. http://warriorsandquietwaters.org/ They would be glad to have those feathers.
They do good work too.

I send a big box of flies twice a year And they always seem to be glad to get them
Sent you a message
I only have 5 sets left...
NO, you only got's "FOUR" sets left....grin. I want a set of your flies. I KNOW your flies. They are awesome.
So put me down for a dozen. I would very very gladly take all the sets left.....gleefully. But that is not the meaning of this thread so I will just ask for one set.
tks Bugman
got you down for a set whitewolf
Bugman,
Just FYI. The money for my flies has been sent to you plus a tip.
You purchased the hooks, material, thread, head cement, spent the time tying them, gotta buy envelopes, stamps, go to post office to mail them.....
Well done sir. A small stipend is definitely in order for my order.
Thank you bugman.
Whitewolf
Bugman,
I'd like a dozen also. Sent you a PM
only 3 sets left
Bugman, My payment went into the box today. Once again, thank you.
2 sets left... ill be shipping all the flies that has been claimed by march 5th

2 sets & theyre gone till the next round
I am a new member & '12 will be my first season fly fishing... I'd love to add a set of your flies to my kit, if possible. Thank you for the generous offer!

good decision to pick up a set of bugman's free flies. You won't receive just a bunch of small dubbed trout flies or floaters. Bugman can tie ANYTHING...and DOES. He is simply sharing his work by giving them away. Pretty nice darned good gesture if you ask me. No strings attached. You just get free flies...mailed to you! What better deal is out there? NOTHING
Sorry to begin rambling. bad feature of me. Point I wanted to say is you will get a mixture of flies...and not all for one species of fish. You will probably get a mix of streamers, poppers, foam flies, emergers....etc. He is just picking a mix of flies out of his stock pile and giving them away. Some of his flies you will probably get....would be 4-8 dollars or even more in a retail store.
so hat's off to Bugman for going to the trouble to do this for strangers....no strings attached. just giving........that means helping others.....and insuring the flies get put to good use by "somebody"
Bugman...."N I C E"
Doesn't get anybetter than this.
Seriously & Sincerely
Whitewolf
I'd like a set, please.
thank you,
George
PS - paypal sent.
Thanks for the post, Whitewolf... As a new guy to the hobby, I definitely appreciate bugman's generosity & will put his flies to good use. I see the entire forum that you have all created here in the same light, really. I've learned quite a bit from reading the forum & feel the place is full of people generously sharing their knowledge and experience. My other hobbies have made me a big believer in 'paying it forward' & I look forward to the day I can pass on the favor to another newbie...
All the flies are gone and going out in a few minutes... Ill have another give away soon...
When eveeryone gets they flies please post or pm me so i know yoll gotem...
Hi Bugman,
Just dropping you a note to let you know that I haven't received anything yet... No problems, just wanted to let you know. Thanks again!
Same here. In fact, I had kind of forgot about it till I just read this post.Quote:

Bugman:
Received my flies in yesterday's mail.
THANK YOU so very much! There is a good variety of flies and looks like most will do well for me in this area.
Thanks again!
Have fun,
George
Bugman,
Got mine too. Very nice flies, you do nice work. Thank muchly.
Dave
Thank you! My flies came in yesterday's mail. I look forward to trying many of them on a local stream or pond.
Got mine today. Very nicely tied. Thanks again.
Just fyi....I received my free flies today. I paid $1.50 for them. But the box...which I don't know how much the box cost....the postage on mine was something like $2.15 or more. So Bugman....thank you for the free flies....and you are out of pocket for this generosity perhaps more than most people realize. Nice gesture Bugman. N I C E
