No problemo papaoak, the more the merrier! Although I said in The PM that we'll try and wrap this up by the 1st week in March, I'm felxible and with everyones busy schedules lets shoot to finish tyin' by then and then get them in the mail 2nd week of March. Also if more people join you guys might want to tie up some extras it's looking like tying up 8 flies. (possible more if more join).
Here's the current list:
1. Me 2. BC 3. B.O.W.B.916 4. Emerger 5. ANGRYINCHER 6. AfricanAngler 7. Munciecross 8. papaoak
Guys, I should have my flys to 59pines tomorrow. After this I suggest we have a Striper fly swap. I have a fly thats doing well( which is why I have been on the river and not tying)

Brian- There are 8 people in the swap. If you want to tie up 8 flies that would be cool. I've had people tie a couple extra in case there were people who signed up late. When I get all the flies I was going to ship complete sets (including the flie that you tied). Anyway 9 flies should work.
MX was left off on purpose. He was joking... You can imagine what a "grunt" fly would look like. :)
Alstair- Got the flies. My wife sent me a pic. Looking Good!
Ok 8, but the extra one the 8th usually goes to PTC for donation at the next function, not back to the original tyer. Just FYI. Also Ive got some done, but guiding has been busy and a personal issue has arisen and its more important to deal with that issue at hand than finishing up the flys. The will get done, just give me a little bit longer.

Brian- No problem. Lets shoot for 2 weeks. I just started receiving flies from people. IF I have extra flies they'll go back to the original tier. Unless SK60 or putah creek trout want to chime in with any ideas.
Sorry guys. Very very sorry. This personal crap will be all over by sunday. So Ill get on the vise and get them tied up, and hope to be shipped out mid week.

PCT has a Spring event coming up on the 26th of March. (Steve has posted about this on another thread). Â I know I delivered 8 but I would gladly not get my own fly to make up a set that could be donated to PCT and used either as a raffle/ auction item at this event or one of our other PCT events. If we get this set sorted out in time you could send them to me and I will gladly pass them on?? ( Or I could collect??)

OK! Looks like I got all the flies! I haven't heard from big Okie white boy at all. I'm working on putting the sets together and I will hopefully have them in the mail this weekend. The snow is calling and I have a trip to Tahoe planned so... between work and snow boarding It might be early next week they are in the mail, at the latest! Alstair, If you are in Napa maybe you can pick up the set for the event this Saturday, If your around... I'll PM you.
59 no need to mail mine, just drop me a email and i'll roll over and pick them up. I live 4 blocks away from you that way you save postage. Ps Have a great time in the snow!
