JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Excellent job! And a big THANK YOU for remembering to include Semper Paratus- it always makes me sad when people forget (or are ignorant) that USCG is a proud old member of our Armed Forces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Hi Dave, Great job on the flies and the theme is GREAT! Too bad the Post Office doesn't use them for a set of stamps. Let us see the flies/frame if you decide to "put them under glass." Take care & ... Tight Lines - Al Beatty www.btsflyfishing.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveB 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Thanks all! I do intend to frame them. If anyone has a suggestion for a background, I am all ears. I am computer savvy so I could design something in Photoshop. Also, this will be my first attempt at framing. Does anyone have a website or instruction on mounting them to the back board? I do have some ideas but I'd rather hear from proven experience. -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
