H Dot Verseman 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2012 Hello, I'm trying to line a back up tier for a christmas gift. I had contracted Don Bastian to tie me a set of flies, but after his recent stay in the hospital, I don't know if he'll be able to produce the flies I would like tied for a xmas deadline and I don't know if I should even add the stress of the order onto him at this point, even if he feels healthy soon. I had contracted 9 flies total, and was given a price. I am looking for traditional style streamers. I am seeking the following patterns: 1. Grey Ghost 2. Black Demon 3. Gold Demon 4. Canopache 5. Morning Glory 6. Red Devil 7. Cameona 8. Canadian Killer The 9th was a pattern similar to Sharon E Wright's The Black Pearl streamer tied on a size 1 10xl shank. It doesn't have to be exact, just a similarly looking fly, but definitely with a pink floss body. If you are familiar with these patterns, and are able to do it by a short deadline, please contact me via pm or email @ [email protected] Obviously I would have loved a set tied by Don Bastian but I am downtrodden to say that I don't know if he can fulfill it this soon after his stay in the hospital. I definitely wish him well and will go with him if he confirms in the next couple of days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2012 with Christmas being only 2 weeks away you might want a few tiers to tie up one or two each if that is the case I would be willing to do a couple of them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 I looked through the patterns and I am willing to do the 2 demons my question though is do you want them on a 10xl galiec hook like the other one you mentioned or is a 6xl fine I have both size hooks just curious as to which you prefer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H Dot Verseman 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 steelhead- no, for that one fly i just wanted the longer hook. 6xl is fine for those. pm me a price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
