Yes, I saw that post and therefore asked to be in. But I counted approx nine on this thread already. So..maybe....maybe not.

However I am in error on the number of flies I have tied. I did tie flies for Al Campbell's bench...but it is a simple tie. And I still had to tie about 25 of them to get enough to select from and send in.....and even those weren't all that great. The Becker Lake Special. Basically a brown wooly worm with a yarn circle tail.

Then I also tied flies for JC's auction.

But I had to get help on that one. I didn't know the right size hackle to use...

I'm still just in the wooly worm phase. You get off into other flies and I'm lost.

We'll see. Thanks for the encouragement.
