Spent wing tyers....a gentle reminder...your flys must be in the mail June 10th.
Since we don't have any Canadian tyers I'll allow 5 days mail time.
If you have any concerns please PM me.

Received some truly handsome spent callibaetis from Diane today!
With all the quality spents I'm receiving my rusties are starting to look like squished deer flies.
