Any extras will be divided up and sent through to the guys and girls hosting the retreat. EDIT: We are working on 12 flies for each lady. The organisers have been quite specific in their request for patterns (see below) but please do your best to stick to 12 flies for each box (a couple of nymphs, streamer, emergers, terrestrials and dries). size 14/16 Pheasant tail nymph, hare and copper, hares ear prince nymph Size 10/12 damsel fly nymph, baetis nymph Size 4/6/8 Mrs Simpsons (lead wrapped for weight, in olive, brown or black). size 10 woolly bugger - olive and black size 10 black/red matuka size12/14 emergers size 10/12 hoppers or green / brown beetles size 12/14/16 dry flies royal wulff, caddis, stimulator dry fly, blue blow fly, parachute adams or klinkhamers I am NOT asking you to examples of each, but a nice selection is what we're aiming for. Please have them to me by May 31 2017. It's a way off, but I want to make sure I get all my ducks in a row. Many thanks Edit. Huge thank you to cphubert for offering to tie the mrs simpson patterns
