I have used the bright colored Czech nymphs here in Idaho and they work well. Some of my best fish have been on an orange and black combination. Most of the people that nymph out here do not Czech nymph. They simply do not know what they are missing. Winefly

You have done a fantastic job on those flies. Over the past year I have become very interested in weaving flies and those give me further reason to keep working at it. I will be very interested in your additioinal information on technique and materials. I am always looking for new ideas and these really help. winefly

Josh, I think this is the term hackle stacker. I could be wrong but that is what it sounds like. Winefly

I had been out of town for a week and just received my flies on Friday. What a great looking set. Thanks to everyone for the effort. I hope the fish salute these when I run them up the flag pole. Winefly

Mine showed up today. Thanks for hosting OSD and thanks to all the tyers for such a nice collection of flies. I also had intended my extras for the SM. Winefly

OSD, Flies are done and being mailed this morning. Winefly

My plan worked, show signs of panic and the flies arrive. Nice work everyone! I plan to use these patterns to tie some flies that should be very effective in our streams in Idaho. Thanks to our SM for hosting a great swap. Winefly

What a Monday! I received my set of woven flies, great patterns everyone and well tied. :yahoo: The weather was finally nice enough to sit outside for dinner and have a glass of wine while I studied the flies for more ideas. Hard to get any better than that, unless it is fishing those flies and having that glass of wine. Winefly

The mailman must be out of town because no flies have arrived here yet. Not time to panic yet but getting close. :dunno: Winefly

Not sure what the mailman is doing these days but no flies here yet. I will see what happens this week before I panic. :dunno: Winefly

You have a great site there. I really like the pictures of the Expo, even saw the back of myself and granddaughter tying in one of them. That Expo is always a lot of fun. Winefly

Overbrook, :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Mine finally showed up yesterday. Thanks everyone for the nice set of flies and thanks to the SM for hosting. Winefly

Wicked, The expo was well attended and there were about 150 tyers. My grandaughters vice and tools never made the plane ride but thanks to lots of friends we had more than enough to get the job done. I think they had about 400 at the banquet/silent auction/live auction. This is one of the better expos around the west. Winefly

I know that darn pony express is slow from this part of the country. That is why email is so wonderful. Too bad we cannot send flies that way. Just hope for the best but if I have to resend them I think I can get that done in time. Winefly
