Graham 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2005 Hey dbirish, My hats off to you and all the brave souls working in the forces. I really liked Salmonfly’s message from Canada and I’m sure you will enjoy his excellent collection of instructional fly tying CD’s. I will contact Salmonfly so that you can have $50 of his tying materials included with the CD’s. I’ll let him pick what’s best. God bless you, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salmonfly 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2005 My hat is off to you Graham ... I received the $50 and will pick out a ton of material to keep them busy. Now where can we send everything to? Are we going to get a major collection point and send it off all at once? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 Hi Thompson, I can only echo the good wishes others on this site have sent your way. Today, Gretchen and I are sending a couple of our books you may find of interest. The first is an Introduction to Fly Tying - a print version of the video you can down load from this site. The other is our new book (just on the market this past week at the Fly Tackle Retailer show in Denver) Innovative Flies & Techniques. Please share with your fellow soldiers and let them know how much we appreciate your (all of you) service. Take care & ...

zip 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 I have some extra fur whitetail,mule deer,moose,elk,pronghorn,rabbit.I think it would be a good idea to send our things to one person and send SGT. Thompson a major package.Also lets not forget hooks we wouldnt want him to have all that material and no hooks. Also take care From the LT.

day5 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 After giving this some thought Sgt Thompson is going to get alot of stuff from us! So here is what Im going to give 25 size 8 salmon hooks and all the fixens to make Olive buggers for a few nights anyway!! I figure with as many of you who are willing to give he is going to get a ton of stuff. Do any of you have bobbins whip and scissors extra he might need them to! if somebody doesn't step up as the giftmeister Ill sent it out on my own. I'd do it but I already have too many fires in my irons now!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
