Excellent. Now be sure and take a pic of the good-looking fly of
the batch when it comes time, OK? :-)

Heh. I'll do my best. For mine, I think I'll be using the soft focus
filter. :-)

I like it. Maybe soft focus with a sepia tone. :-)

Sort of confused--how many flies are each of you mailing ???


sounds like a big job.

I am tying lots of flies. Last month I ended
with 131 dozen and hope to do the same for
February. I have been working on new midge"

Sounded so easy I picked up phone and ordered hooks, foam, and legs to tie
some Jimmy Crickets--a new foam fly they are pushing as the latest killer!

Anyone know a web page that shows how to tie rubber legs around a piece of
foam? Actually I just wanted to get some mail and still have the flower
seed packets I ordered last winter so thought I would order something
different.

I use a needle, thread the rubber legs on, push through the foam and
then (AFTER removing the needle), superglue the point where the legs
enter and exit the foam.

14. That's a baker's dozen plus one. Overall, a paltry turnout for
the GFS, but the small number allowed me to join in. I'd have never
had time to do four dozen this year. Hell, I'm struggling to find the
time for these.

At first read, I thought it was you that tied that many. I was
thinking all of the tennis courts in NC had been destroyed. g

Okay, you're in (but remind me in about 10 months.)

YOS,
Joe F.

My flies are in the mail. They will arrive in two days, happy
valentines day!
