vicrider 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 The Eagle has landed. Or maybe a bunch of little feathers, probably not Eagle tho. Great looking storage for those Piker and they sure make the whole bunch stand out. Looks like a great variety and everyone has a little bit different idea of the fly for the group heading and that is cool. I'd think a person could do well anywhere in the country with this assortment but I hate to break them up they look so good in the box. I'm not good at pic taking but hope someone puts a good shot of the completed group on here in the box, even tho there is going to be a slight difference in each person's group. I noticed I got a couple of my own back but they are the ones I'd fish first anyway, but if it is because there were extras I meant them for you. Great job to all who got involved and with enough lead time like this had I'd love to see someone tackle one like this again. Great fun...Great flies.

Piker20 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 Glad they made it. I had a few extras but 5 sets of each extra so everyone saw some. Your flat wing extra extras are in my salmon/seatrout box waiting a dunking. I agree, when the flies all arrived I could have just stuck a set in a fly box and used that box all season long on river or Loch. I enjoyed the results and I have been thinking about a similar swap for next winter season end tying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 I'm glad it worked out so well. My memory is not all that great but I think I sent some of the smaller sized spey style flies. They are fun to tie and a pretty fly and sure hope they get wet...AND SLIMEY. Thanx again for great work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2014 I'm hoping people will start seeing their flies arrive this week. Normally takes around 10 days so hoping its just been a weather delay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 LP ID, I know what you mean. They are so nice in the box like that I hate to break them up just so a fish can chew on them. All in all a great bunch and I might just keep them in a separate side of a two side so I know where they came from when I hopefully get to use them.
