Those are some serious flies there..... Man I'm pretty excited! Work got me twisted up here and put me behind. I haven't tied a thing! Grrrrr! I will get on it and get mine out by the end of next week most probably.

Those bugs look sick!
Just a suggestion if you guys are cool with it.
What about a recipe posting for the flies for those who don't win? I would love to tie and try 'em regardless of if I win or not.

Great work people!
We have some talented members here.
And Benny, your photography is awesome.
What camera/lens are you using?

I finally sat down at the vise and whipped my 17 flies up. It's a little (size 22) emerger that I'm just starting to feed the sippers up on the Lower Kings. So far, I've had a few actually eat my offering.

and one of the results

Benny - Mine are ready to send to you but I'm not sure I've got your address. I apologize if you've already sent it, but could you let me know where to send my contribution.
