jbeck Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Doing a small clouser version with horse hair (since we have one). I bet you'll have a ton of horse hair in the next couple of weeks if it keeps warming up! Link to post Share on other sites
LostintheUplands Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Some soft hackle bugginess coming your way Fellas. I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for some spring time temps & hatches. I'll mail them out tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Farino Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Flies mailed, with some extras for you, John. Please note the message in the envelope pertains to certain establishments on Passyunk & 9th. Link to post Share on other sites
john mcg Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Fly box on the way along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. I decided to forget the Royal Coachman wets and instead go with 'Haregarian Soft Hackles' that anyone can fish anywhere and guaranteed to catch fish. Link to post Share on other sites
upstate Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 can't wait to see the flies. go easy on mine. the 18 I tied is most I have tied in a long while. a deer hair and peacock hurl dry fly. that works great on small stream brookies. that's all i have used it for so far, but it should be a very versital fly Link to post Share on other sites
ckfowler180 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Running a bit behind, will be able to get to the post office in the morning with mine. Link to post Share on other sites
jbeck Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Flies have been starting to arrive! I purposely avoid opening all the packages until they have all arrived, and then I just parse them out and drop them back in the mail the same day. If I start opening them, I'll wind up with flies everywhere, which is not a good thing! I'm going to give the flies until the middle of the month to arrive here, and then mail them back out. Anything that arrives after that will just go back in the return envelope. Hope you guys enjoyed tying this year! I'm glad that some new tiers have jumped in the fun also!
