New idea for extra flies
Permalink  
 

I was thinking, instead of auctioning of the other 12 flies, we(all the mebers of the fly swap) could meet at Putah creek and fish for the set. This would be a chance for us to not only earn the 12 flies but also get together and share our tactics for fishing on Putah and other rivers like the Yuba and Feather. This was just an idea so if this doesn't work we can always go with packrats original idea of auctioning them off. 

Packrat- my flies are almost done and i will send them out on wednesday.

Putah is a pretty small area for that, but how about the first annual one fly tournament on the Yuba. One digital camera and one fly, or something like that.

That sounds cool, but how are we going to get everybody up there on the same day?

Personally, I like the auctioning off idea the best. It gives someone else that doesn't tie flies a chance to get some good flies for cheap. If we don't do that, then what if everyone gets one extra fly in their set. You can raffle each one off or something.

I say give them away to one of the kids on the board. My 2 cents.

Good idea but how would we pick who? Youngest? Have them write an essay on why they should be chosen? (kidding)

How many young people are there on the board? I can think of only one other since live2fish888 is already getting a set. Maybe the extra set should go to the youngest board member?

Sounds good. I only tied 12 flies, so send the flies to Daara, instead of sending me back my flies.

Do you know when the flies will get sent out?
Also, Start posting the pictures of the flies that you already have so we can all see what we are getting so far.
