His name is Andrew, but goes by Drew. He's 17 years old and has a life threatening illness. His wish is being processed now to go to Bozeman Montana on a fly fishing trip with his father. They'll be going in June. Drew isn't outfitted for fly fishing, but conversations with outfitters and manufacturers look like they'll be OK with the hardware part.
OK: the asking part. About the only thing they would have to buy for the trip would be flys. Not being seasoned fly fishermen they would be at a loss to know what to get. I never met a fly tyer that didn't have boxes of unused stuff. I would like to ask you good folks out there if you would
a) box up some flys that they would use
b) Identify what they are (pattern)
c) include fishing instructions for them (presentation, how to use them, etc)
d) Mail them to Drew at

If you're a warm water guy please participate!!! When he gets home from Montana I'm sure he'll want to bass fish in the ponds in Illinois, so maybe a hair bug, popper or two..........or three

For all that will help: my lifelong thanks to you. I've been a Make-A-Wish volunteer for a few years now, and there's NOTHING like it.
