I'll PM him and see what's up. If nothing else, I'll host this month. We should know something by tomorrow.
I think rawfish has been gone for a while, and I neglected to update the roster. My apologies. Since it was my error, I will host this month. If anyone wants my November slot, it's yours.
Since the flies will be due at the first of November, the theme will be (you guessed it....)Turkeys! Either of the two species; Meleagris gallopavo, or Meleagris occellata, will be fine. And yes, marabou comes from turkeys, so it qualifies. Any pattern is OK as long as least one part of it comes from a turkey. I will tie a Red-Headed Marabou Leech.
Here is the roster of who I think is still with us. Let me know if any corrections are needed.
bdsavage-QE Damselfly Nymph-Received
billhouk - Dirty Rat-Received
branhap - Peac-a-bou-Received
gigmaster - Red-Headed Marabou Leech-Done
gmac209 - Turkey Biot Nymph-Recieved
icemanxxxv-Beadhead Turkey Tail-Recieved
Rick Z -LBTs (Little Brown Things)-Received
sjo - Klinkhammer (WIA)
texfly -(MIA)
As usual, flies due by Oct 31, with toe tags, return shipping, etc....

Count me in with a Dirty Rat. (And a hopper now that the cutter set arrived. A little practice needed.)

Life is expensive... but it does include a free trip around the sun.

Sounds like someone is getting up very ealy, Paul. Shoot straight or you'll have to buy feathers.
