Pinball and his passion will rule the day. Too bad there are so many westerns on the thread, otherwise I would make a bet! A dozen flies to the winner.

I'll take that bet... BC is gonna win this year.. I can feel it. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/biggrin.gif Pinball is good, too bad he's with the "Other Team", but that's ok, we've had a good season without him http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif So what was that, a dozen trout flies?
Yup, a dozen trout flies - let's say size 14 or 16. I would be happy with 6 each of two patterns. How about you?
Whether you get them or send them, could you post them on the 'net and let folks know the practical results. Thanks.

Well I use mostly size 12-8 flies, so when you tie them up can ya use bigger hooks? http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/biggrin.gif Other than that everything sounds right. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif
Well I guess that's what I get for opening my big mouth! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/biggrin.gif It seems that I am tying flies tomorrow.
Well, you got to the computer before I did (I guess I was savouring the moment ). Except for posting the pics of the flies, let's do the rest of this via email.
Well, I received the flies from the bet, and since I believe in completing the circle and giving praise where it is due, here in part is my personal email response to SheTies.
"The flies arrived yesterday and I am impressed. I like the cased caddis - very attractive and thanks for the beads so that I can make some too. Your crystal dub/ pheasant wing streamers look especially fishy. The loop-wing emergers will be useful on the Grand for both trout and mooneye!
The winner of course is the sunfish - EXCELLENT use of the rabbit strip for the belly. There is no excuse for having a crowded or bulky head - that is one of my criteria for judging a well tied fly. All yours are very neat.
I am pleased to also have the advantage of seeing flies from another region and 'school'. These flies from outside the Ontario 'box' have sparked me.
I promised to send a sample of my own work to indicate that it was a fair bet, I will make some selections tonight, hopefully you will be pleased too.
Thanks again,
Greg"

Ya know, theres a fly swap idea in this, but I can't put my finger on it. Kinda like a light went on when I read this. But could'nt solve the puzzle, oh well, maybe one of the regular swappers can...

Spelling and Grammar not subject to judgement... ;)
go patriots!!!
....eh? What happened to the "eh?", eh...
I am so glad you like the flies. The Perch/sunfish that you mentioned is my own design. The crystal dub and phsnt tail is one of my "old faithfull' flies called the Pennask Special. I have to give credit where credit is due... the cased caddis was a technique shared with us by Rich AKA Flymaker2.
Let me know if you catch fish though, eh? (that's better eh Dude?)
She...had me worried there for a minute, eh. (gotta keep up my Canadian image, eh)
