Branhap- ouch, I yours and her pain, my oldest broke her collar bone at age 4, almost impossible to keep someone that young from hurting an injury more.
All- waiting on one more ingredient to arrive before I can tie, should be soon (tonight?), and next week should not be as hectic as the last few months, 60+ hour weeks. Have done a few practice ties and have the pattern down so should take no more then a couple of nights to get the flies done and in the mail.
Flies in the mail. Fish the spares in July, Gig and think of Julianna, Walton, and trout.
Flies are in the mail.
Ingredients:
Hook: eagle claw L059S size 16
Body: red wool (from felt)
Thread: uni-thread 8/0 red

Any flies arrive yet?
flies are on the way!
Mine went in the mail today!
Gigmaster I sent you Christopher and my flies (in separate boxes, WITH toe tags, lol) with one return envelope. Also there is a little baggie with January SOTM flies for Sjo, and also Branhap's January ties so you can distribute those. I also put a little baggie with January's SOTM flies for Branhap in his flybox, so you won't have to worry about sorting those out at all.
Does that make sense?
