Got a fantastic set from Steve. You may have felt rusty tying those but it sure didn’t show. They are some beauties thanks also to Nick for the extra box and for hosting again, and to Norm for fantastic set. Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa arrived here too, thanks a lot for the extras Santa, and especially for hosting this again. Thanks also to Flytire for the flies. Merry Christmas everyone

this is great pattern, brings some great strikes

Do you have room for one more? I can send the box out tomorrow

I bet they make great dubbing!

Look up electrical test hook clips. You’ll find the same ones shown above but at a much cheaper price, usually less than a dollar each.

Thanks to St Nick for another great swap and to Flytire for the extra set. Unfortunately I threw out the wrapping paper with the label so I forgot whose I got but they were a fantastic set in a beautiful wooden box.

Got mine, what a great set of flies! Thanks for hosting, Bob

You ain't kidding. This town has changed immensely since I first moved here 20 years ago, especially these past few years. I live here and don't recognize half of it. Unfortunately, they haven't started stocking Hogtown Creek with trout yet!

I need practice to get the wing just right. Not sure about how much hair to use for the wing. I used muskrat for the dubbing. Is there a favorite dubbing to use, or just any dry fly dubbing? As you can see, my photography skills are even worse than my tying skills

I’ve been using the HMH one for a while and it works great. Certainly cheaper than a specialty vise, but I don’t tie a ton of tubes to warrant that investment even if it did

I hope you’re feeling better, sounds like a nasty virus to go through.

Nice! I hope you’re doing better.

No worries, Nick, I was more concerned the post office routed them somewhere else. Where I live, we’ve had a lot of issues with the post office saying a package was delivered and then it not show up for several days or not at all. I hope things start going better for you

Hey Nick, I checked with the post office and they said it was delivered on Friday. Hopefully it shows up. I just hope they didn’t put it in the wrong box
