That sounds too cool! I hope that works out for everyone! I'd be willing to be the link to send overseas. Just don't stick any restricted materials on the flies. I don't want a visit from the Men in Black.

Hehe, out of the curiosity that comes naturally to a person with progressing case of fly tying addiction I have used several mats over the time that might raise a custom inspector's eybrow (feathers of predatory and migratory birds, Lemur and Tiger fur). In this case I however promise that my Godzilla Bloodworm pattern consists of nothing more than a large hook, thread, some tinsel, a little marabou and a touch of genius. Nothing more, I promise, I promise! :lol2:

Cheers! - and thanks for the helping hand!

Very nice! But I am more worried about what I will end up sending overseas to you.

You know, it occurs to me that the ideal job for a fly tyer would be exhibit maintenence at a natural history museum. They seem to have a lot of old shaggy looking taxidermy stuff that could use a judicious trim here or there to retain it's beautiful display appearance.

 

BTW... is it okay to export genius? You'd better not mention it in the manifest, just in case.

David I know you jest but there was a story a few months back about some birds on display in a Natural History museum in London. some rare birds from Darwin's adventures to galapogos(sp?) were stolen. Guess who they suspected of the crime????????? fly tyer feather merchants.
