Putah Creek Trout fundraiser: tying flies to help the fishery

Cole Davis · Senior Member

I'll be the first to step up Steve. Thanks for setting a deadline so this doesn't take months like the last one. This is a great opportunity for those who have done this in the past and those who want to jump in for the first time. It's always lots of fun. I will wait and see what everyone else wants to tie before I decide.....

Hi Steve, I'd be glad help. I've got a midge pattern that has worked very well for me over my last few outings at Putah. Happy to donate a dozen for the fundraiser and some for you too! Viking

SK60 · Senior Member

Thanks guys. A great start. C'mon all you other expert tyers! I'm no expert, but I'd like to contribute a Glossosoma caddis larva

iamamultitasker · Senior Member

I'm in. Don't know what I should tie, but am a little scared about revealing too much. confuse

Otter · Senior Member

I am in and will volunteer to run the swap. I will tie up some soft hackles.

Cole Davis · Senior Member

I got some wd 40s for you.

JT · Senior Member

I'll donate some JT Specials.

papaoak · Veteran Member

I'll tie up a dozen squirrel tail emergers that I'll donate.
#18 or #20's, let me know.

So far we have 7 tiers. It is probably best to limit it to 12. Tie twelve flies and send them in! Due date will be January 31 2013.
I will send out pms to the tiers on where to send them.

Need five more tiers where are you Greg B, Matt R., Rich G, No Hackle, Emerger, Berryessie, Bernie...
Nice to see you back on the board JT

So far we have
Viking with a midge
SK 60 with a glossy caddis
Multitasker with ?
Otter soft hackle
Cole with a WD-40
JT with some of those famous JT Specials

I have chronic back problems so I can tie only one more complicated fly or two easy flies per day. Thus, I would like to tie six PT's (the more complicated fly) and six Zebra Midges (the easy fly) to make up the 12 flies. Or I can just put together a Putah Creek assortment of 12 flies from the flies I have already tied. Let me know what you prefer.

Otter · Senior Member

OK we have 8
So far we have
Viking with a midge
SK 60 with a glossy caddis
Multitasker with ?
Otter soft hackle
Cole with a WD-40
JT with some of those famous JT Specials
Papa Oak with the Squirrel Tail Emergers
I think size 18, but if you have more hooks in size 20 then tie those
And No Hackle. With six pheasant tails and six zebras.

Thanks to all.
We just need 4 more tiers. It looks like a good Putah hatch!

Matt R · Senior Member

Ok since tis the season, I'll tie up some x-mas midges. Size 20 or 22 we'll see.

Emerger · Senior Member

I'm in. Officially making this a midge fest--chromie's for one and all.

papaoak · Veteran Member

I'm not sure how it would work, but what if we tie 13 flies.
Someone could figure out a fair way we could have the extra set go to
one of the 12 tiers?
Just a thought.

I think SK60 should get the set for all his incredible work for PCT. Put me down for a set I will pay for them.

SK60 · Senior Member

A PCT fly tying demonstration and social event is being planned for the Middle of March at the resort. I suggest we draw the name of one of the tyers out of a hat for the 13th set at the event. Also, if you are interested in tying at the event let me know and I will forward your info to Dave McCants who is heading up the event.

Steve,

I'll tie some S&M nymphs.

SK60 · Senior Member

Iama: much safer than tying some S & M nymphettes!

Emerger · Senior Member

but less fun

i'm interested in helping out with the tying event. do you know the dates yet?

SK60 · Senior Member

Thanks E, its March 16; tie some flies, drink some green beer, spread the blarney! Jordan will be doing some casting lessons as well.

iamamultitasker · Senior Member

Hey Steve,

You just helped me solve an important equation I've been working on:

Tie some S&M Nymphs = Good day on the Putah!

I'll be tying up a batch of emerging caddis. One of my favorites for the creek. I will start on them asap. Glad I can help.

- Nic

Otter · Senior Member

I just sent out messages of where to send the flies. If you didn't get the address let me know. Thanks to everyone for all the help!

Xnjb707X · Senior Member

All done and I will send them out tomorrow!

Cole Davis · Senior Member
