It's time for the October SOTM. According to the list, Rawfish is hosting this month.
So what's up with October, Rawfish MIA?
I'll PM him and see what's up. If nothing else, I'll host this month. We should know something by tomorrow.
I think rawfish has been gone for a while, and I neglected to update the roster. My apologies. Since it was my error, I will host this month. If anyone wants my November slot, it's yours.
Since the flies will be due at the first of November, the theme will be (you guessed it....)Turkeys! Either of the two species; Meleagris gallopavo, or Meleagris occellata, will be fine. And yes, marabou comes from turkeys, so it qualifies. Any pattern is OK as long as least one part of it comes from a turkey. I will tie a Red-Headed Marabou Leech.
Here is the roster of who I think is still with us. Let me know if any corrections are needed.
bdsavage-QE Damselfly Nymph-Received
billhouk - Dirty Rat-Received
branhap - Peac-a-bou-Received
gigmaster - Red-Headed Marabou Leech-Done
gmac209 - Turkey Biot Nymph-Recieved
icemanxxxv-Beadhead Turkey Tail-Recieved
Rick Z -LBTs (Little Brown Things)-Received
sjo - Klinkhammer (WIA)
texfly -(MIA)
As usual, flies due by Oct 31, with toe tags, return shipping, etc....
Count me in with a Dirty Rat. (And a hopper now that the cutter set arrived. A little practice needed.)
Bill Houk

I will do a Turkey Biot nymph pattern.

Not sure what it will be, but I will take November.
Rick
Turkey eh. Well if tomorrow's adventure goes well for me, I'll tie up a pattern that I have had for a while. if not, I'll figure something out!
Paul
Sounds like someone is getting up very ealy, Paul. Shoot straight or you'll have to buy feathers.
Bead Head Turkey Tail
I'll do a "QE Damselfly Nymph"
Bill
Fly Done! Mailing within the week!
Flies are done and in the mail.
I have to stop tying and swapping. An old back injury is coming up again. I have to lie flat on my back for at least three weeks and the doctor prescribed Morphine. I can't use my left leg, every movement is painfull!
I will stop tying and swapping for a wile.

If curious, my almost 2 year old daughter said I'm tying the peaca-bou this month. :)

Hopefully the post office will forward your mail. I used the Brushtown Road address.Quote:

Flys in the mail yesterday can't remember what address I used if you you haven't changed the one on here than that is what I used. If you did than look for the forwarded mail.
Flies went in the mail yesterday.
Nymph pattern from turkey body feather that has worked for me.
Rick
Flies in the mail. (No hoppers, still not pleased with the results...):(
BTW who is up for November.
I thought it was RickZ but he claims someone beat him to the honour.
bdsavage is the host for November.

If he (or anyone else), has told me the situation, and I forgot...my apologies.
We've completed the move, and I will go over the flies today and see if all are in. I will update the list, and get them sorted and mailed ASAP.
According to USPS you got mine yesterday. Looking forward to some of the flies from this month. I need more ideas for turkey feathers since Wooly Buggers have never really been productive for me.
I've updated the list. It doesn't look like texfly is still with us, so I think all the bugs are in.
I will sort and mail them out tomorrow (providing I can find the ones I tied...I hate moving....). Great looking ties, everyone.
Sorry for taking so long to get back with everyone. It's still a little chaos around here.
Flies are on the way. Now it's up to the USPS.
Got Some Nice Flys in the mail today Fellas!
Got some nice flies. Thanks guys. My wife happened to be around, and stole a few of them for her fly box. lol. I also have my first mouse pattern to try next summer on my favorite brownie rivers.
Got some nice flies in the mail yesterday.
Rick

Flies came in the mail today. Look great.
Flies have arrived! Thanks for your generosity!
