DDFS Flies Are Here

Woo Woo! Its the Dog Days of Winter and I got a good case of flies in the
mail. Along with a rude cartoon supposedly depicting my chosen profession
in a less than wonderful light and, last but not least, a special set of
Australian marital aides. Cool beans! Thanks Tim. I'll put the Aussie
Ticklers to good use. Great day in the Reid household 'cause my wife's
final Xmas present (a 90 minute video of the "Best of Bobby Orr") also
arrived from Canuckistan. Will discuss more on the flies when I find my
glasses that are around here someplace.

Frank, I think you'd better peruse that video before handing it over
-- sounds like Canuckistanni chick hockey porn to me . . . . When
Canuckistanni women yell, "He Shoots! He Scores!", they ain't talkin'
about his slapshot.

Yeah, I'll watch the calendar a little better next year.

For those without telepathetic abilities,

coffee.

and, last but not
least, a special set of Australian marital aides.

I hope you don't mind, Tony, but I passed some of the emu feathers on to
Frank. Very interesting feathers, and I've never tied anything calling
for emu, so I thought I'd have the guy with the vivid imagination come
up with a few. We may have you in the feather export business in the
near future.

Cool beans! Thanks Tim.

Really, it's my pleasure. I find these small swaps to be very
therapeutic, and this batch is so varied and well-tied that it made it
all the more fun. Today a trip to the post office is in order to mail
off the flies to Petah, Tony, and Eddie. Once the USPS figures out how
to do international shipping online, it won't be so much of a problem.
Right now, all they have available online are the super-expensive
methods.

Yeh, its hockey porn. Its Orr with a bunch of unknowns (was this Espo
guy one of the Montreal Espo's?) with this teenager deakin' the
opposition out of their skates. Brenda repeatedly commented on some
bimbette physical therapist who ruined her chances with him.

I received my flies yesterday but am just now having the time to look them
over. I know just the lake for that crawdad pattern, and I'm thinking a few
others will work at specific places. I'm also seeing some ideas for tying
in ways that I've not tried. The egg sack that Svend put on over a small
piece of floss looks great. The Brown trout weamer is calling some big
browns in Eastern Oregon. There is a reminder that I need to get some
starling, experiment with that darn hare foot I bought, wishing I had such
fine red wire as on the lightening bug, and some chartreuse ultra chenille,
wondering if Chris' fly would pull a shad as well as trout?

The business card by Big Dale takes the best label award, and the ant will
scare something up. Somehow Mr. Weall knew on the Deschutes many say any
color will work, as long as it is purple or black. I think the marmot
purple bugger would work well on Davis lake. I don't know but Eddies Crow
looks like a sea run cutt might be tempted with a twitch and strip there.
Both the Twisted hackle and the super pupa call out for some frogs fanny
next summer, and that green weenie should pull out something from a Central
Oregon stream.

I have many plans to make to put these flies to work.

Done. They were sent AirMail and should arrive in five to ten days.
Please let me know when they arrive. The only batch I'm holding now is
Myron's and we'll remedy that when he comes to the US or gives me other
instructions.

I rec'd my flies today (took me a while to get to the post office, been
fighting the flu). They arrived safely and again I feel like a man bringing
a sandwich to a banquet. Very nice flies by everyone...I wish my tying was
up to the standard that everyone else has set.

Roff despises humbleness. ;-) Your entry was awesome, and once the
photos are posted the truth will be told.

Tim, humbleness ain't one of my better qualities Really, there be some
classy tiers in your swap and I am not be one of them...

Chris, but thanks for the kind compliment. I will admit the fly I tied does
catch a fish or two on occasion.




Chris

Mine arrived a while ago, but I've only just now had time to look
through them carefully.....

.... apparently I was the only person not to receive the memo asking that
the flies be works of art, suitable for framing.....

.... a number of sure-fire fish-catchers in here too.....

Thanks to all for the flies, and to Tim for a job well done.
