I had a PM today from Ron Tidd our own Geek guy.
He is serious about learning to tie flies. Questions about
what to get etc. I have talked with him at length and he has
relented and is allowing me to post this Help request.
Here is what I am asking. Can we members of FAOL put together
a set of good tools and materials for him? If any of you might have
some good stuff laying in a drawer collecting dust that you would be
willing to donate to this project, just shoot me an e-mail (denny@conranch.com)
(NO PMs Please.)
and tell me what you have. I think it might be best if I act as central,
make up a kit on paper from your donations and have each of you then ship direct
to Ron. I will provide you with a ship to address.
I really do not think we need to completely overload him with duplicate stuff and
Items. I do think we can set him up nicely.

To start the list off, Conranch Hackle is going to send quite a bit of high
Quality dry fly hackle of different colors. Eventually we will add soft hackle
Hen hackle to the list.

He needs it all, has nothing other than an empty worm container.
Come on, lets show our geek what Fly fishing folks are all about.
We will convert him I am sure.
After this is complete I will post a complete list of who and what.
(unless someone does not want on the list)
