We need a Christmas Fly for the Fly of the Week for FAOL. We’ve done a Yule Mouse, a Snowman and a Santa Fly. Do you have something neat we can use here? Either post here or drop me an email. The more the merrier - well it is Christmas! Whatever fly is chosen, we will need a Materials List and Step by Step instructions with photos. The Winning Fly will be featured as Fly of the Week a couple of weeks before Christmas, so folks have time to tie it. We’ll see that the ‘winner’ has an appropriate Christmas present for their efforts. Email me here at:

Have fun!
Neat idea Deana!G
If memory serves, Ron Eagle Elks begginers group last
year had some interesting Christmas flies. Perhaps
Ron could post some pictures to inspire us.G Warm

I tie a Christmas Softhackle, but it’s really a simple fly, don’t think it’s what you’re looking for.
I’ll send you an image of my garland streamer. Largemouth’s like it !!!

I submit three of my patterns published in the book "A Compendium of Canadian Fly Patterens
Blue Christmas: works well for both Coho (Silver) Salmon and Dolley Varden. Details on page 59.
Dec 25th: My all around best Chum (Dog/callico) Salmon pattern. Details on page 61.
Saint Nick: Works well for Coho (Silver) and Chinook (Spring/King) Salmon. Details on page 66.
Here’s a neat fly tied by Julie Neilson, Grand Rapids, MI. It’s called the Royal Christmas

I tie them and put them in clear bulbs suspended on a thin wire for tree ornaments.

Deanna:
I have tried to send you some information that you asked for and I cannot seem to get it to deliver either to “publisher” or FAOL.
Please respond.

If I was Scott Sanchez (formally of Livingston, now back with Jack Dennis in Jackson, WY) I’d tie one of his spun deer hair Christmas Tree or Santa flies (which we put on our Christmas Tree each year) but I am not and even though I’ve probably tied as long as he has - I can’t!!
