Fly Tying
Inconnu

Challenge 13

Recommended Posts

Sorry I have been updating the first post as I mentioned above somewhere. I just put up the receipt of Redwings flies and the other two packages are on their way. I would say that since I know the rest is coming, that I will have the flies out to you on Friday morning. I will let you know.

This last set from Redwing are just beautiful! Again I think I have been too easy and will spend the rest of the year plotting my next challenge for next winter!

He di'dn't mention what friday did he :dunno:

Sorry guys! I have just been working way too much! They fired a guy at work so I have been picking up extra shifts and when I am on nights I cannot function enough to do more than work.

I also have a project that suddenly took off so I have been neglectful. Flies should be in the mail tomorrow afternoon....wait...Friday afternoon I think it is after midnight and I am at work until 0600hrs.

They all look cool and there were two rather unique uses of the materials I sent.

I will post a group photo once everyone has them. Talk to you all when they actually hit the mail, now it is back to work for another six hours.....Kerry

Okay now I have time to breathe....for about 12 hours.

Flies are sent, but I wanted to fill you in on some details. One package did not arrive and I am PM'ing the tyer. If they get here I will send a fly on to each of you, his are already packaged. I want to thank everyone for their participation! There are some pretty cool patterns and though most are streamers, a couple of you got brave and went another direction.

Mine are sad excuses but I am taking them to a local walleye lake just so I can say they would catch fish!!

Those who sent a couple of extra dollars, I appreciate the thought. I have been trying to get my envelopes down to a slimmer size so shipping is less. Canadian postal rates are crazy and I seldom ask for enough to cover it, but I think this time I did a bit better. I chatted with the postal people who gave me some rules I was not aware of.

Those who sent extra flies, well I always appreciate them and while I use them, I also send some of them to Casting for Recovery Canada as well, so they always find a good home.

I must apologize for the lapse in communication, as Spring approaches, for some reason people at work start calling in sick, or hey getting fired and I was pretty much focused on just getting through my weeks. Of course my car died and I bought a new Honda Fit, I look like a grizzly climbing out of a 45 gallon drum! The good old Canadian Gov't gives me a rebate of $1000. and I get 50 mpg. Makes fishing trips a bit easier to go on if I don't need my boat, so it is actually a good deal for me.

I am also working on bringing Project Healing Waters to Canada and that suddenly required my time as well, but though I am late, they are on the way. Once everyone gets theirs I will post a picture of them.

Take care guys and thanks again, you were great!
