Now I see the "and more." :) Reminds me of the style of fly Davie McPhail ties up:

 

Thanks for the kind words and input....added another pic as an edit to the post...my complete collection of every Tenkara I ever tied...10-14 dry hooks

That video was played several times here this morning, good eye...

truckdriver,

 

Way to jump in with your first post :) And yep, you're in.

 

If you want one of your own flies back, tie up 12. If you don't, then all you need to tie is 11. Welcome!

Glad you got a tracking number, but don't need it unless for some reason they don't show up this week. I'll definitely post and we'll start tracking if I don't find a prize in the mailbox this week. Thanks!
