dpeck21, you're on the list, brother! We've got one opening, but a couple of guys tying up second sets...so we are in good shape. I will post my address soon and we'll get this rolling right along. I think I had talked about setting the due-to-me date of March 1. That still works well for me, if it works for everyone else. I've got my dozen half-tied tonight. The next step (wings) will take some time, patience and nerves as I am new to working with quill wings. So far: 1. TallCrane1, Sz.14 Extended-body Sulphur 2. Rod Tosser, woolly worm thingy 3. Just Dave, Green Buggers 4. midkiff1 5. Chris G 6. Ol J.W. 7. StoreyTeller 8. utfisher 9. harrington, Rainbow Smelt 10. Salty Dan ,Crawfish 11. dpeck21 |

March 1 sounds fine to me. I should be getting the materials next week and I'll have them tied up shortly thereafter. |

Fore some of you new participants.when you ship them out you can use normal postage, but when you have them shipped back to you I like to use if it fits it ships because you never know what is coming back and i don't want to stiff any one on postage. example my flies are weighted with lead wire ,Daves are weighted with beads this adds up . |

I haven't even started on mine, yet. I just got finished with an ultra light rod that is being raffled for the American Legion. I have everything I need for them so it's just a matter of sitting down and tying them.

Ok, got 10 of these tied up. Two weren't up to par so I'll tie up a few replacements this week. Decided to go with a wooly-bugger-ish Cormorant 2.0 pattern. Should be ready to send them off by the end of the month!

Looks like we're gonna see some great flies! I've got most of mine tied, but still need to tie a couple more up. Okay, with March 1st the due date, I suppose I should give you guys the ship to address: Shane "TallCrane1" Schmidt 859 Nero Court Carmel, IN 46032 As soon as I get everybody's entry, I will get photos posted of each entry on the forum to make the non-participants jealous :-) and shipped very soon thereafter. I will send confirmations upon receipt of the flies to each tier so you know that they have arrived safe and sound. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE A RETURN ADDRESS! If you would like, you can also add a little tag describing name, size, and materials used. |

THEY ALL SHOULD HAVE A TAG with the tyers online name at least . I like to know who tyed what . I will probably use card stock and make mailing address labels. but a simple piece of paper works to. just stick the barb through and tape on the back side.

Okay folks, it's getting down to the wire...approximately two weeks before flies are due (March 1st). I know a couple of you guys are done and ready to mail off. I am going to post the "Send to" address again in case someone missed it. I am going to PM everyone that volunteered to participate to give any slackers a last second reminder. Remember to add some tags describing your name, fly name, size, materials (if you're not keeping secrets) and most importantly, A RETURN ADDRESS!
