Thank you THANK YOU (thank you) Thank You (thankyouthankyou...)

....to each of you who contributed to the HK Fly donation The flies
arrived today, and I am just giddy with appreciation, and I can't wait
until I hand them out to the kids at the next meeting.

In addition to the 6 types I had put on the wish list (2 dries, 2
nymphs, 2 streamers), another huge pile of assorted flies arrived, and
they all look wonderful! My initial order of 15 dozen flies has
swelled to over 55 dozen! Wow!

I'm going to hand out the original 6 types to help the kids get
familiar with the different types of flies and how to fish them, but
when we are in NZ I will break out the others a few at a time to they
can add them to their stashes. The few that are too large to be
handled with a 5-wt I will set up in some fly boxes for 'awards' to
the kids who really show a love and affinity for the sport.

As promised, I will certainly explain to them that a gang of
passionate fishermen have pitched in to make this happen for them.
I'll have Harry send me the names and addresses of anyone who
contributed so that I can send you a personal thank-you note from the
me and the kids.

I really really appreciate that you guys did this. Thank you!!
