Frank, did you receive my separate mailing of the return postage?

I have been on a fly tyin' binge of late. I am tying a fly that I think
will catch mucho trout.

Pattern:
#16 dry fly hook
#8 tan nylon thread
tail--muskrat guard hairs (two longish) or two moose body hairs
body--turkey biot (tied so a ribbin' surfaces)
wing case--wood duck flank feathers
hackles--light gray dun and grizzly size 16 or what ever I have, in size 16,
when the grizzly runs out

I hope to tie up a decent assortment of dry flies to send to someone I had
promised I would--a LONG time ago!

Op --preparin' for the great Polar Plunge of 2006, by makin' up music CDs
to play while beggin' money on the Sanford Mall, on campus, in my pink
inflatable tu-tu, with faux gold lamay trim. I'm up to about 300 buck, so
far, but far short of my goal of a thousand bucks :~^( Oh well, I start
earlier next year.

Thanks,

23 #16 para Adams are on their way to you Frank. Any extras from
folks dropping out at the last minute (Hi, Myron) are yours to keep.


Chuck Vance (assuming you have a use for a #16 para Adams :-)

....Thanks for the heads-up Chuck, I may not have any use for those Adams
but I bet my local bluegills might. :-)

Frank, I changed my mind on the pattern (so sue me! :-) to a partridge and
green soft hackle.

It's funny you mention that, because I tie up some oversized para
Adams for sunfish around here. I seriously considered tying you a #8 or
#10 as a little thank you for hosting the swap. Somewhere along the way
it just slipped my mind.


...thanks for the idea anyway Chuck, I must have by now a bazillion
"bluegill" flies from the previous 5 yrs of GFS's. My how time slips by.

That dude ain't NEVER coming to Cleveland again, so I think I'm safe.

Hi Frank. Message got through, loud and clear. I gotta take offense at that
'last minute' thing, though.

That was me. It was meant as just a gentle jab.

22 Biot Caddis Larvae are tied. I'll be back home Saturday afternoon to tag
and package, and the flies will be mailed on Monday USPS Priority to Master
Church. If the postal service does its job properly, they'll be to you by
2/15. Damn - can I cut it close or WHAT!?

See! We'll make a California boy outta you yet.
