Like I said, this may fall flat on it's face, but it could also get someone that might otherwise not desire to tie flies motivated. Who knows, this could very well become an annual event.

Besides, though I have never seen any of your flies, I bet the only thing that would ever put it's mouth around one of your flies, lives in a world where they have to breath dissolved oxygen! Mark |
