I'm finished with mine and have gotten in 2 sets of other flies from WT and Otter and they look great! I think we shouldn't wait until we get 12 tiers because that could be a while. Lets just go with the 9 guys already signed up. Still tie 13 flies and we'll figure out something to do with the extra sets. Lets try and get them completed and to me in the next 2 weeks, should be plenty of time.
I received flies from Chris L. and Emerger. This is turning out to be a nice set of flies! Still waiting for a few others guys so try and get them to me soon.
i would love to see pics of these flies if at all possible.

I finally got some time to tie tonight. Between school, work, and the baby, it's been tough. I sat down at my desk and realized I was totally out of #24 TMC 2487s, but I found some #24 Daiichi 1130s. In bigger sizes they look like a 2487, but they have a slight offset bend. In a #24 the shank looks too straight. It's supposed to be a scud hook. Oh well. I don't think the fish will mind. And maybe the monsters won't straighten these hooks as easily as the 2487s. Anyway, they'll be in the mail tomorrow morning.

I need another day or two. I have a pregnant lady breathing down my neck to get this room finished. All I did was prep and paint all weekend. I promise you'll have them by the end of the week. I can't wait to see everybody's bugs.
