Mainard...You got your flies? Yours was one of the boxes I had the PO tracking since it seemed to vaporize in thin air somewhere between here and CA. I was going to send you one of the many stuffed fly boxes I have I'll never get around to using but glad you got yours after all and I get to keep the great box I kept of Hazathor's. I was particularly excited to try his crayfish imitations on the ponds here and wasn't sure if I'd get to keep it or have to send it away but now if TroutaControl's box comes back here like it's supposed to and Old Hat's is on it's way this will fill everyone out and Santa can take a break and quit worrying.

 

Sorry again, Vicrider! Of course the newest member would cause the most trouble! I hope you made it out to the river Monday!

Mike West, just want you to know that any compliments I received on great ties in my sent out gifts, were actually your patterns. #still.pretending.I.am.good.at.this.

 

If you don't believe me, we can get an affidavit from fisherboy................

Wasn't me and this is pure speculation but I would guess dyed gray squirrel tail

Thats funny

You have to realize Ive been doing this for about 50 years and when I started out I went to fly tying classes for four years once a week,

tied flies commercially for two years and support a family of eight doing it and tied for Dan Bailey when I was a teenager for two years.

Actually I should be better at it but I cant see any more.

 

Dub,

Im leaning that way too

Mike West and Dubs, wasn't my tie, but looks like dyed raccoon tail to me. Seems too kinked/curly for squirrel.

My money is on Hazathor, king of Craymen, probably some GMO Iowa cornsilk:)
