Next fly will be up later this evening. mcfly- Probably only because Jason was busy studying or something, but thanks anyway. You almost threw me off with those yellow legs, as the dun is generally described as having pale cream legs. What the devil happened between Fly #4 and Fly #5? It seemed as though you had dropped off the face of the earth. In any event, glad you have resumed with your contest, as it's both interesting and challenging.

mcfly 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 I'm here, just didn't want to spam the forum to much. That and was thinking maybe I'd catch Jason unaware... Probably do another group of 4 or 5 and take a bit of a break then a couple more till I hit 20 flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
